Welcome to the Dollhouse
ComedyDrama88 min
In middle school, Dawn Wiener can’t make it through a day without being mocked by classmates, ignored at home, and pushed aside by the people who matter most. She wants respect and some foothold in a world that treats her like a joke, but every attempt to fit in only opens her up to fresh humiliation. At school, taunts turn into intimidation; at home, her parents’ attention goes elsewhere, especially to her younger sister and popular older brother. As Dawn keeps reaching for friendship, romance, and any scrap of status, the film follows how small cruelties pile up and how far she is willing to go to be seen.
