Wiener-Dog Ratings & Reviews
Ryezoo
February 20, 2025
I'm semi appalled by this movie. This film is well shot and I get that this film is trying to convey a message but my god is this film bad. This best scene is within the first 20 mins after they move the dog turn it off and think this is actually a good movie.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
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.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
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.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
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.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
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.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Viewers wary of the director's reputation as a savage satirist will be pleasantly surprised by the deeply felt humanism in Weiner-Dog.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
The style tends toward the artificial and the humor toward the archly droll, but the stories themselves are perfectly sincere.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
You wouldn't exactly call the movie a thrill, but it's curiously engrossing all the same.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
As he gets older, Todd Solondz outgrows the cheap shocks and easy nihilism and stumbles toward a mellow misanthropy.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
In the end, trying to compartmentalize this movie in some neat fashion is folly. This is Todd Solondz and, refreshingly enough, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
The casting was spot-on in "Dollhouse"; here it seems haphazard.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
The bitter humor of director Todd Solondz has never been for all tastes, and this may be his bitterest yet. Painfully, lethally funny.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
At the end of the day, "Wiener-Dog" seems to be saying that life is mundane, then you die. It's not the stuff of Hallmark cards, but Solondz has a way of making it palatable.
New York Daily News
Allen Salkin
It is well-acted, occasionally funny, and tightly written.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
I loved it, but you might not.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
One of Solondz's sharpest visions of futility.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Todd Solondz's dark comedy Wiener-Dog follows the life of a dachshund as she moves through the lives of her various owners, all of whom are, in various ways, cracked.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
This Todd Solondz tale of a dachsund and the humans who neglect him is the same meal of misery the filmmaker has been dishing out for years. Only a few glints remain of Solondz's satiric grit and grace.
Observer
Rex Reed
I guess Solondz wants to show the pain and detritus of human experience but with satirical pokes at American life in particular. The results are more unnerving than humorous.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Solondz gives no quarter, nor does he mince words about where we're all headed. His vision of our predicament is bleakly funny and weirdly heartfelt.
