'Hounddog', a.k.a "the Dakota Fanning rape project". Actual working title. Maniacs.

The movie's pretty meh but rather exploitative, so... yeah. Head's up. Fanning gives an excellent acting performance, if nothing else.

A bit more of a dark comedy, but 'Happiness' also deals with it; although that being said, it tries to make all parties involved a bit sympathetic.

Uuh... that's all that comes to mind right now. Not really a topic I profess to have much knowledge on.

Happiness is my favourite Todd Solondz film. Very good stuff . I've not seen Hounddog yet, have put it off because of Dakota Fanning (not a big fan of her at all), but I should maybe give it a whirl.

Lemme guess... War of the Worlds?

She was an insufferable shit in that movie, and really soured her other performances for me.

I think her performance in WotW was pretty grounded and realistic, retrospectively. Speaking as an uncle, I can say with 100 percent certainty that all of my nieces would be like that during an alien invasion.

Still an insufferable shit, though. Like, the movie didn't need to have her in it. It easily could've just been a father-and-son story.
