"Bleakly funny and weirdly heartfelt." -NPR
"I loved it, but you might not." -David Edelstein, -New York Magazine/Vulture
"A film of anguished tenderness and of scathing derision...of cold experience and gleeful parody...a loopy comedy that bares human strivings, cravings, and frustrations...precise yet wild, exquisite yet imperfect." -Richard Brody, The New Yorker
Welcome to the doghouse: the latest hilariously biting comedy from Todd Solondz is a twisted Lassie for misanthropes. It follows the wayward adventures of a dachshund who passes from oddball owner to oddball owner—including the world's worst mom, a beleaguered screenwriter, and the grownup incarnation of Dawn Wiener from Solondz's earlier cult classic "Welcome to the Dollhouse."'—whose radically dysfunctional lives are all impacted by the pooch.
Featuring an all-star cast that includes Greta Gerwig, Julie Delpy, Danny DeVito, Ellen Burstyn, and Zosia Mamet, Wiener-Dog is a tragically funny, wondrously warped look at the absurdity of life (and death) from one of contemporary cinema's most fearless and unique voices.
