Wiener-Dog
A dachshund is taken in by a veterinary technician named Dawn Wiener (Greta Gerwig), who soon sets off on a road trip. The puppy then finds itself shuffled from one oddball owner to the next, whose radically dysfunctional lives are all impacted by the pooch.

I find Solondz's films oddly soothing.January 01, 2017
If you're familiar with the twisted, tragic universe that writer-director Todd Solondz has created with eight features over 27 years, you may care to read on. I have good news.October 03, 2016
A film with an acid humor that tells a cruel story based on expressing the normality of a reprehensible actions that won't stop happening. [Full review in Spanish]July 07, 2016
It takes a callused soul not to dread the inevitable, and it takes an exceptional film to earn that discomfort from its audience. This film is not exceptional.December 31, 2016
If you are into Solondz, the hits outweigh the misses (stay for the year's greatest intermission). Just know that there's dark, and there's Solondz dark (particular warning if you are a dog lover and think this looks cute).July 14, 2016
The best story involves Danny DeVito as a screenwriting teacher, which allows Solondz, an adjunct professor at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, to vent his spleen at the ignorance and arrogance of his students.July 07, 2016
At a time when even niche films are virtually scrubbed clean of any traces of eccentricity, Solondz's downbeat vision of humanity is downright refreshing.January 04, 2017
I laughed, but I suspect most people won't be "comfortable" with it.July 08, 2016
Even Gerwig, who could light up a darkened cavern simply with her walk, is wasted under Solondz' mirthless direction. She shuffles along with her shoulders slumped, like all characters in Solondz' movies.July 08, 2016
It's heavy material, but Solondz shapes it all into an epic joke about the folly of living a good life.
