Todd Solondz’s Sundance darling follows Dawn Wiener, a 7th-grader burdened by formidable social indifference. She is constantly blamed at school for pranks she does not employ, and is the least nurtured of three siblings at home. Dawn’s scrutiny is constant, and bestowed by most every possible source. This is as accurately dark and dramatic as Junior High can be.
