Our take
Prince of controversy Todd Solondz revisited his Sundance hit Welcome to the Dollhouse with this semi-sequel, proving to be as unsettling and sharp as ever. Eight actresses (including Jennifer Jason Leigh) all play the same character in this subversive, darkly comic puzzle that opens our spotlight.
