Like much of Solondz’s output, Wiener-Dog is essentially a slew of short films, populated by an obscenely illustrious cast, including Julie Delpy, Greta Gerwig, Danny DeVito, Ellen Burstyn and Zosia Mamet.

It’s the worst movie I ever have seen. They don’t treat the dog good, and that should not happen in this world. It’s a bad humor and I don’t get how a person can come up with such a bad idea. Don’t see it, it’s waist of time!!!!!!!!

Todd Solondz er en ægte auteur med sin helt egen empatisk misantropiske tone, hvis ikke verdenssyn. Samtidig er han helt vildt og frivolt legesyg, hvad formen angår.
