Synopsis:

Todd Solondz became a talked-about director with this acclaimed comedy about the suburban condition. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE follows 11-year old Dawn "Wienerdog" Weiner (Matarazzo), a junior high geek who just wants to be popular. Teased by her classmates, tormented by the school bully, Dawn develops an improbable plan to seduce the star of a high-school garage band. Bitterly funny and true to life, DOLLHOUSE is a "mordantly hilarious suburban comedy... excruciatingly funny."

Nominated: Best Director, Best Feature, 1997 Independent Spirit Awards
