Wiener-Dog

"After “Welcome to the Dollhouse” and “Happiness,” Solondz’s was one of the quintessential indie voices of the 1990s but today his act has gone stale. (...) This darkly unfunny entry is not going to do much to revive his career" 

"A suburban American version of Robert Bresson’s Au Hasard Balthazar (...) ['Wiener-Dog'] offers a view of modern life little different from what the sometimes inspired, reliably perverse writer-director has served up in the past. Its amusing title notwithstanding" 

"A hapless Dachshund witnesses the spectrum of human unhappiness in this sly, stimulating provocation from Todd Solondz." 

"Wiener-Dog doesn’t find Solondz going light to deliver an inspirational medley. Instead, he’s created arguably his most caustic film since Happiness (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)" 

"The eighth and perhaps most blithely eccentric feature to date from Todd Solondz (...) Students of the filmmaker’s exactingly composed mise-en-thropy will revel in the new pic’s freezing wit"
