Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995) – 30th anniversary

Hoezo in KINO

For its 30th anniversary we’re bringing Todd Solondz’s Welcome to the Dollhouse to our big screen. A brutally honest and darkly satirical portrait of the misery that is middle school, a film that will make you thankful those early adolescent years are behind you. Steering clear of conventional coming-of-age tropes, Solondz masterfully blends discomfort and humor, capturing the awkwardness of growing up. As Dawn Wiener, Heather Matarazzo delivers a standout performance, bringing to life an anti-heroine you can’t help but root for. For anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider, this film is a must-see.
