Reviews for Dog Days
Dark, probing, and truly disturbing, Seidl's astonishing feature debut explores angst, anomie, and alientaion in Vienna's upscale suburbs in visually audacious mode that goes beyond Todd Solondz and Todd Haynes.

Top Critic
Stylistically void, intellectually vapid, narratively coarse, and exploitative of its actors in the worst possible way, the film is an abject failure on every level.

Top Critic Oddly compelling, disturbing -- some might say disturbed -- look at suburban life, Austrian style.

Top Critic Mosaic filmmaking at its most irresolute... [its few affecting] moments are antiseptic, sealed off from any larger relatable context or emotional arc.

Those who know that human beings are more than just the sum of their worst impulses ... will wonder where the rest of the story went.

Top Critic What some detect as cruelty in Dog Days is in fact a bleak but deeply felt humanism -- a yearning that we might all learn to better love our neighbors and, perhaps more importantly, ourselves.

A masterpiece of misanthropy...an uncompromisingly bleak reverie on human misery and meanness.
