...hardly packs the profound punch that Mignone is clearly aiming for...

Memorable more for its performances than its plot, this scrappy independent doesn't fade from the mind quickly

Audience Reviews for On the Doll

A small indie hit which similar to many others in narrative. We see many different stories each in some way involving sex, whether it be sexual abuse, prostitution or hitting a guy in the balls. Of course each of these stories is on course for a linked together finale. It happens in quite a coincidental fashion like Magnolia but only just carries it off. Some of the dialogue is pretty good and the film moves at a good pace giving equal screen time to each story. Despite all the hard subjects it deals with it maintains a certain level of maturity by never showing any of the sexual acts. It's a good jo the actors are able to pull off good enough performances to convince of the shocking nature of things. Wonderfully shot and with Brittany Snow still coming off as beautifully hot depie punching a guy into unconciousness it is bothpleasurable and difficult to watch in equal measure.

I feel like 1 hour & 32 minutes of On The Doll were a complete & total waste of time & the last 10 were the only good thing about the movie.It's a shame when you have to sit through a movie that only gets good in the last 10 minutes
