Welcome to the Dollhouse

Someone at work had just seen this one and was not amused which got me to rewatch it to see if maybe now that I'm older I'll have a different feeling. Nope. Maybe it's just schadenfreude, but I love this movie. I love that Solondz didn't cop out and make one bit of her life easy. I love the way the little girl dances when they start a home scene. I love how you feel sympathy toward Dawn, but that doesn't stop you from laughing through the whole thing. And I love the way it ends. I thought I might get some new insight rewatching at after at least 5 years of having not seen it, but all it did was reinforce what I'd already known.
