One of the highlights of the 1995 Toronto Festival, Solondz's second film is a stark, often funny, always poignant comedy about suburban mores, centering on a misfit Jewish girl tormented by her family and classmates.

At 87 minutes, Dollhouse is a near-perfect morsel. If nothing else, it informs older folk that school principals still threaten to record bad behavior in one's 'personal record' -- only now, computers facilitate the process.
Original Score: 3.5/4

Welcome to the Dollhouse remembers with brutal and unforgiving accuracy the hell of junior high school... it's a shock, watching this film, to remember how cruel kids can be to one another, and how deeply the wounds cut.
