Truly original exploration of geek childhood
Todd Solandz’s first feature is a dead-on accurate exploration of geek childhood as seen through the bespecled lenses of the nerdy Dawn Wiener (Heather Matarazzo). Dawn’s rotten school life is compounded by the fact that an older guy at school is targeting her for extracurricular rape. He hasn’t quite decided if he’s really going to bury the sausage in Dawn, but he’s sure getting off on the anxiety he’s generating. At home, Dawn must compete with her cute, feisty, outrageously indulged sister Missy (the irrepressible Daria Kalinina), a beauty pageant wanna-be if ever there was one, and a mother she has a huge disconnection issue with. Dawn’s life is such a living hell the rape looks like it might be an interesting diversion. Solandz followed this up with the terrific “Happiness”, an exploration of a more adult hell. Though the subject matter of “Dollhouse” is incendiary, the nihilism is sautéed in the blackest of humor and deep sympathy for the characters. A true original.
The Worst Years of Our Lives….
“Welcome to the Dollhouse” is a feel-bad movie with little to make most viewers smile. It’s depressing, awful and painful to watch. It’s also incredibly insightful and incredibly well made.Heather Matarazzo stars as Dawn, a miserable kid who just began middle school. She’s not particularly pretty, nor talented nor self- assured. The other kids are incredibly nasty and take full advantage of her insecurities, her teacher could use euthanizing and her mother is a complete jerk…and as a result Dawn is depressed and lost. The film follows her during part of the school year and by the end, her life still seems to suck…just as much as when the film began.
So why do I give this miserable film an 8? Well, writer/director Todd Solondz really understands kids this age…and most Hollywood films completely get kids this age wrong! They usually make them too smart, too self-aware and too happy…which is great if you are a movie star but not reality. Here, however, Solondz explores what life can be like for kids who feel like outsiders…which is incredibly tough at that age. The only negative is that there really is no ending to this story…Dawn is still miserable, her mother still is a terrible parent and things look like it’s just going to be more of the same. But wow…what an incredibly well made little film!
