Wiener-Dog

In this unmissable, bracingly funny new comedy from Todd Solondz (Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness), we are presented with four interlinked stories of American life that connect a suburban family, a frustrated screenwriting teacher, an elderly depressive and a resilient pooch. With a stunning cast that includes Greta Gerwig, Danny DeVito, Tracy Letts, Kieran Culkin, Ellen Burstyn and Julie Delpy, Wiener-Dog sees Solondz tackle typically bold and tricky themes with caustic wit and shrewd observation - and better yet, he does so with the generosity and optimism to ultimately let the dog steal the show.
