Dolls

About This Movie

Dolls (2024) dives into a quirky blend of comedy and horror, wrapped in an early 00s vibe. Cherry, our protagonist, navigates that awkward phase of growing up with the added twist of her judgmental porcelain dolls. Each doll seems to reflect her inner turmoil as she grapples with her sexuality and the bittersweet process of leaving childhood behind. The practical effects here are quite charming, reminding you of those classic horrors but with a modern twist. The pacing feels right for a coming-of-age tale, with moments that balance humor and genuine angst. The performances are solid, especially the way Cherry interacts with her dolls – they almost become characters in their own right. It’s a unique blend that stands out in its exploration of self-discovery amidst the maze of adolescence.
