Welcome to the Dollhouse

Eeep!

Anyway, I’m done with my 80s arthouse movie binge, so I was wondering — what’s next? Well, after the 80s, there’s *shiver* the 90s, and the most 90s director there is is Todd Solondz, so I bought all his movies.

And I’ve seen them all before — back then. All I remember is like… they’re all Three Pillow Movies? That is, that’s how many pillows you have to hide behind to not just die from sheer cringe.

OK, I’ve got pillows here, so let’s go.

Hey, wasn’t Solondz’s last movie called Wiener-Dog?

Hey, it that that guy…?

It is!

Yeah, I needed those pillows — this is hard to watch.

But on the other hand, man: Those kids are amazing. I kinda feel like you couldn’t put child actors through something like this these days? And that’s probably good! But, wow, Heather Matarazzo is unbelievable, but it’s not just her — Solondz is just amazing at directing kids.

The movie is kinda genius? I remember it being good, but it’s fantastic.

Welcome to the Dollhouse. Todd Solondz. 1995.
