Very best movie i ever watch
Sorry, this movie sucks
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
I guess I had forgotten who Todd Solondz was when I decided to watch this movie. I remember now how much I hated "Happiness" and it seems the psychopathic film maker hasn't really changed and continues to exploit his trademark of depressive characters and deadpan so-called humor. If people are buying why would he stop?In this, the dog is supposed to be an excuse to link different stories but practically the only time you will notice the dog is in the intermission, a lame trick to stop even trying to connect any story of any kind. After that, he feels finally free to do what he likes the most: showing disconnected, half-assed stories that don't go anywhere. If you can't get good, get bleak, he most probably believes that. Every single character in this is the saddest ****. There aren't nuances of any kind, everything is ****, no redemption, no nothing, everyone is either a loser or a moron. The worst part is that vision doesn't even feel honest, or convinced, but more like a trademark he maintains cause he can't think of anything else.This guy hates his characters and his audience almost as much as Haneke. Both are up there as my most hated directors. The difference is I respect Haneke.
If you love Wiener-dogs you should never ever watch this movie. It is just awful how this poor dog was treated from the very beginning of the film. Every character was completely ignorant of how a Wiener-dog should be treated. The entire movie was maddening garbage. Anyone who can watch this movie and derive some type of enjoyment should really go see a therapist.
Well, what a let down. Here's me expecting a feel-good, laugh out loud comedy about a dog and instead I get a dull, boring and almost entirely laugh-free drama in which, towards the end of the film, the dog hardly even features. 'Wiener-Dog' couldn't have been any more uninteresting if it tried.The problem is that none of what is happening in this film has any purpose. None of it leads anywhere, it's just one pointless story after another. The dog is completely irrelevant for the most part of the film, only at the start does the dog feature centrally in the story. A big disappointment and huge waste of time.
This was the worst movie I have ever seen. No redeeming message. These people were all horrible and weak and the sweet dog was the victim over and over. Nobody grows, nobody changes nobody does anything except randomly hurt the dog. The little boy in the beginning has the worst parents in the history of parents. The girl at the vet, after rescuing the dog becomes a complete victim to a drug addict. She gives the dog to a down syndrome couple who are more excited about the leash. A horrible film professor blows her up and then she is killed by a car and run over multiple times. There are many scenes of dog diarrhea, and very long time of seeing a completely smashed dog on the road and cars just go over and over and over and over her. A final treat was to see her stuffed in a museum. The best part was intermission.
