A film by Todd Solondz . By Christina Brucato , Eric Mabius , Heather Matarazzo Title Welcome to the Dollhouse original. Drama, 87 min duration. - USA 1996. The director Todd Solondz in the mid-1990 stands out strongly with this little jewel of meanness and acrimony. In almost fairy world (the original title "Welcome to Dollhouse makes a better idea) and the perfect small town America is perpetuated on the shoulders of a little Dawn Wiener system psychological torture that would frighten the most relentless serial killers. She is clumsy and ugly in constant competition with her younger sister (who has the vague and isolated murder fantasies), and graceful like a Barbie doll, i hate her classmates and is the subject of jokes and bullies beauty queens ; parents ignore it completely, but even worse in the few moments when they realize his presence got excited about her mistaking her rebellious attitude as whims and not as a desperate attempt to get noticed. Even the
Cottarelli for high school friend of his older brother will be able to give her some 'of support.
will find a bit 'of understanding only in the school bully, he also abused by a system that fails to understand, ignored by parents and overloaded with anger imposing form of sexual threats that Dawn does not really seem to despise so much, because if nothing else, at least there is someone who cares her.
A film that does not leave much to the imagination and is very direct in its cruelty. Several moments of violence (physical but mainly psychological) that are unleashed on Dawn and can not reject, a wall of incomprehension and indifference separating it from a world that she sees the other side of the fence and he can not touch. His fantasies of a typical 11 year old girl, breaking with the harsh reality which has never been prepared. A world of busy adults and children who grow up apart from their abbruttiti incattiviti and indifference and neglect. Solondz's criticism is clear and simple: Dawn is the element that undermines the fragile balance of the typical American family on vacation at the lake, cable TV, from wallpaper and peach-colored sedan in the garage, adorned only by unnecessary things materials with which it surrounds, but completely devoid of love and patience that makes a random pool of people with a real family.
no happy-end as it should be, Dawn left alone surrounded by indifference and the difficulty of having to grow up without a guide, and surrounded by androids that are all the same acting equally, only she will be in its diversity to be that dangerous mines that roams the small province of New Jersey, ready to explode.
