An independent film, it won the Grand Jury Prize at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival and launched the careers of Solondz and Heather Matarazzo. The story follows the unpopular middle schooler Dawn as she goes to extreme lengths trying to earn the respect of her vicious fellow students and her uninterested family. Dawn reappears in two of Solondz's other films, Palindromes (2004) and Wiener-Dog (2016), but those films have alternate timelines and Dawn encounters two different fates in those two films. Dawn's brother and father also appear in the former in addition to Life During Wartime (2009). The film's working title was Faggots and Retards. ## Credits - **Director:** [Todd Solondz](https://cinepixo.com/people/todd-solondz) - **Screenplay:** [Todd Solondz](https://cinepixo.com/people/todd-solondz) - **Producer:** [Todd Solondz](https://cinepixo.com/people/todd-solondz) - **Original Music Composer:** [Jill Wisoff](https://cinepixo.com/people/jill-wisoff) ## Cast - [Brendan Sexton III](https://cinepixo.com/people/brendan-sexton-iii) - [Angela Pietropinto](https://cinepixo.com/people/angela-pietropinto) - [Christina Vidal](https://cinepixo.com/people/christina-vidal) - [Ken Leung](https://cinepixo.com/people/ken-leung) - [Heather Matarazzo](https://cinepixo.com/people/heather-matarazzo) - [Eric Mabius](https://cinepixo.com/people/eric-mabius) - [Bill Buell](https://cinepixo.com/people/bill-buell) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
