First of all, I didn't really have high hopes for this film, as it's a 'coming of age' film, and I can not stand them types of films, they're usually boring, typical and really stupid. And so I thought this film had a good chance of being the same. In a way I was wrong. It was watchable. I can't say I was fond of the romance parts, but after that was out of the way...it was O.K, I was getting into... read more

With the realism of the coming of age teen life themes that the film "Kids" started, Dollhouse seems to continue. This time, the plot is fitted into a "more linear" storyline, with the intent of structuring the movie in an order that makes it more of a digestable film for general audiences, despite some of its sharp edges.
This is a hard-nosed depiction of those who are quietly & easil... read more

Since this movie had a pretty good reputation (above all Roger Ebert was really enthusiastic about it), I was really eager to check it out. As usual with Todd Solondz, it was a rather realistic dark tale with some pitch black humor and we were far from all the glitter and glamour displayed in your usual Hollywood high-school comedy. And that was definitely the main quality in this movie, the fact ... read more

" Insightful look at an unattractive 7th grader as she struggles to cope with un-attentive parents, snobbish classmates, a smart older brother, an attractive younger sister, and her own insecurities. Dawn Wiener is a socially awkward teenage girl, who is unattractive, and with a highly dysfunctional family, and barely hits in her school, this film is way different from other teen films, in that tells things as they really are in high school. It’s a place where if you don’t fit in, it will"

30 From 95: My Favorite Films From 1995 (30 movies items)

" The 90's was a decade when things seemed to get more "real". In art, in music, and of course, in film. Taking the realism of the coming of age teen life themes that a film from this same year, "Kids" started, writer/director Todd Solondz takes a dark comedic twist to the trend by adding his particular brand of misanthropic satire. Welcome to the Dollhouse, IMO, has so many sharp edges in the way ir presents suburban life for those who are in that emotionally turbulent stage of life betwee"
