Wiener-Dog
horizontal line

A shocking, horrific conclusion punctuates this dark, quirky, 88-minute satire that follows the mixed-up life of a lovable dachshund as it is passed from owner to owner, including an inquisitive young boy (Keaton Nigel Cooke) whose coldhearted parents (Julie Delpy and Tracy Letts) look for excuses to get rid of the dog from the time they brought it into their pristine Colorado home, a compassionate vet technician (Greta Gerwig) who travels to Ohio with a crystal meth addict (Kieran Culkin) and ends up giving the mutt to a couple (Connor Long and Bridget Brown) coping with Down Syndrome, a down-on-his-luck acting professor (Danny DeVito) who desperately tries to sell his screenplay, and a blind, elderly woman (Ellen Burstyn) whose estranged granddaughter (Zosia Mamet) finally pays her a visit looking for a handout.
