I don't feel I got Welcome to the Dollhouse. The film cleverly juggles between insightful & exaggerated but the characters were so potty-mouthed & despicable that any perceived comedy just didn't work for me. I can't recall a single character that wasn't rude, selfish, mean-spirited or actually abusive. Maybe Dawn (Matarazzo) is an unreliable narrator; if not, the film is simply depressing. Teen angst meets existential angst that all seems pointless if the final scene indicates Dawn fitting in.

Ahead of it’s time in so many ways. Love the aesthetics of this thing. An easier to consume version of Solondz humour/worldview. Does that make it worse? I’d say no but I get the want to see artists pushed to their limits

Great debut that doesn't hold back. It looks like any old suburban comedy of the time, but boasts a fairly harsh, even cringy story, mostly about bullying, hormones, loneliness, and domestic turmoil. Lots of good child actors.
