If you loved Happiness, try Welcome to the Dollhouse

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Todd Solondz, and they both carry the cult mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Happiness, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Welcome to the Dollhouse is

An unflinching satire of adolescent hell finds a misfit middle-schooler dodging humiliation one locker at a time. Her attempts to fit in only dig the social hole deeper. The film settles for cutting close; profundity is optional.
