Are kids really this horrible? Solondz’s
films are always depressingly absurd but still…
Dawn (Matarazarro) is an awkward, geeky,
sullen kid, bullied at school and at home in a New Jersey white middle-class suburb,
hopelessly and clumsily in love with a high school hunk (Mabius).
It’s so depressing that it’s almost
funny. Almost. Or maybe very. Or just painful.
Todd Soldenz’s films are… Todd Solendz films. Unlike any in the known universe. I kind of hate them. And I kind of love them.
