Welcome to the doghouse. The latest unremittingly dark comedy (or is it a humanist’s jolt?) 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 WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE's Dawn Wiener—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, WEINER-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.

“Existentially speaking, 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. Ever the pessimist, he's rarely a cynic.” —Ella Taylor, NPR 

“A suburban American version of Robert Bresson’s AU HASAR BALTHAZAR on under-prescribed anti-depressants” —Todd McCarthy, Variety
