PARADISE presents WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE

“What are you doing here, honey? You’re not even old enough to know how bad life gets.”

“Obviously, Doctor, you’ve never been a 13-year-old girl.”

-The Virgin Suicides

THIS APRIL: Join us as we venture back to the school girl days- telling tails, biting nails, and all the magic and misery of growing up. The Paradise Presents: PUBERTY BLUES- nine films of girlhood woes that’ll make you wonder if you really want to live forever young.

NOT ALL GIRLS WANT TO PLAY WITH DOLLS. Join us on April 8th, for the ugly side of growing up. Todd Solondz' morbidly hilarious breakthrough film is a radically uncomfortable viewing experience. A perfect antidote to childhood sentimentality- 1995's WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE. 

Middle-school student Dawn Weiner (Heather Matarazzo) faces degradation at school -- where she is teased constantly -- and at home. The middle child between nerdy older brother Mark (Matthew Faber) and perky younger sister Missy (Daria Kalinina), Dawn can't seem to find a place to belong. Although she has a crush on a cute boy (Eric Mabius) whom her brother knows, she can only catch the attention of bully Brandon (Brendan Sexton Jr.), who threatens her to show affection.
