| Seven DaysRick KisonakIf 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. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyWith all its humor (and there is a ton), Wiener-Dog, following the journey of a dachshund as it is shuffled from owner to owner, is one of Solondz's sharpest visions of futility. |
| IndiewireEric KohnBizarre and challenging when it's not outright goofy, Wiener-Dog never feels remotely compromised. Somehow hilarious and gloomy at the same time, it represents a big middle finger to anyone who wishes Solondz would lighten up. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonLooking for a feel-good movie? Fortunately, this film doesn’t qualify. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniWiener-Dog has a satirical edge as sharp as any Solondz has fashioned, but it is also filled with disarming moments of absurdist humor. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamEven 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. |
| ThrillistMatt PatchesCaring for animals changes who we are as people, and this film sniffs around to discover every possible way. Wiener-Dog is a low-key masterpiece. |
| L.A. WeeklyApril WolfeWiener-Dog has some sharp teeth and stands on its own awkward little legs. |
| National PostMike DohertyThe seemingly odious characters have redeeming qualities, etched out by nuanced acting. |
| Columbus AliveBrad KeefeIf 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). |
