Welcome to the Dollhouse 1996

A movie about the how cruel society is and how the victim survives day to day with by daydreaming, jealous and revengeful reasons. It also shows personal selfishness and group hieracy well. It's a dark, charming and very funny. It follows Dawn during her teen years which makes her unable to escape her painful routine and living situations.

Hands down, one of the best high school movies ever. I can see this movie being a favorite among outcasts girls.

Really dark and uncomfortable, its sense of humour is so black that you find yourself laughing at the cruelest things. I also like how detailed this is as a character study about the emotional scars left by bullying, though I wish it hadn’t relied so much on 80s highschool movie tropes to achieve that, because a subtle indie drama should move beyond those same old stereotypes. Moreover, there’s a general lack of vision. Its use of score can occasionally be interesting, but the visuals and editing are both pretty bland and lacking in personality. The acting is also not quite up to par, especially from the more inexperienced cast members. I usually don’t like to pick on younger actors, but this movie isn’t even close to hitting the Spielberg bar. Overall, it’s one of those movies that’s almost entirely carried by the writing, because it’s not that hard to spot the obvious flaws.

6/10

A strange and interesting film following the suburban life of a teenager in Junior High.

Wonderfully tragic. The microcosm of middle school life replicates life sometimes so well.
