 Middle school was a mess for (almost) everyone.

 Dawn Weiner is ugly, walks awkwardly, has an ungraceful voice... enough to be hated by everyone, accentuating the unlikable streak of her character.

The review explores the harsh realities of middle school through Todd Solondz’s 'Welcome to the Dollhouse,' focusing on the awkward and often painful experiences of the protagonist, Dawn Weiner. It highlights the film’s unflinching portrayal of social rejection and the absence of neat resolutions. Heather Matarazzo’s performance is praised as emblematic of the overlooked and awkward youth. The film’s understated yet powerful depiction of violence and social cruelty differentiates it from typical portrayals. Watch 'Welcome to the Dollhouse' to experience a raw, honest look at middle school struggles and the awkwardness of growing up.

 ‘Freedumb’ is power and will together; it results from not just a musical growth of Suicidal Tendencies.

 Listen to this album when you wake up or when you’re stuck in morning traffic on your way to the office. It will make you feel better right away.

 The album's sunny sound seems to comfort and give courage to any girl who wants to listen.
