Solondz loves revisiting his creations (he did it in Life During Wartime and, glancingly, Palindromes). Alas, he never improves on the originals.

Wiener-Dog is a mordantly funny tour of the human condition seen from the low-slung position of a sausage dog.

It is a movie with a hard core of disillusionment.

Wiener-Dog sees Solondz on top form.

There's every chance you'll hate it. I'm not convinced I don't. But this is a film that, once seen, you'll always know you've seen and, in the most disquieting way, it feels as if it has somehow seen you too.

Solondz' notorious misanthropy ... remains fully in force ...

Audience Reviews for Wiener-Dog

Oct 18, 2017The idea of following a little dog through his life and the ever-changing oddball owners may still be interesting enough and the first few chapters mostly work. After a pretty random intermission (and the first unexplained change of owners) things get more and more joyless and boring up until the tasteless and insulting ending, which makes you feel as if you've been wasting your time. Artsy fartsy and ultimately pointless.Jens S Super Reviewer

Sep 26, 2016Going in I knew certain people took major issue with the subject of some of the movie's jokes: Rape, animal cruelty, depression, death, and domestic terrorism to name a few. Personally I took issue with the fact that I was bored. A black-comedy anthology film starring a Dachshund seemed like it would be totally my cup of tea. In reality, Wiener-Dog couldn't hold my attention through even the first segment, and I didn't laugh once.Gimly M Super Reviewer
