Review of Welcome to the Dollhouse (1996) by Linda R — 11 Nov 2007

A chilling film. It's about a girl whose life just generally sucks. Her parents don't like her, her sister is a bitch, and her classmates bully her nonstop. She falls in love with her brother's friend and her attempts to impress him and just creepy to watch.

This is such a realistic and grim film, yet still very refreshing in it's dark humor(the scene where she almost kills her sister with a hammer) and quirkiness of the events. There's a kid who repeatedly threatens to rape her, despite the fact that it's obvious that he doesn't know what he's talking about, or what rape is.

If this sounds like something you may find funny, check it out.
