08/27/2021 Weird shit. Very austrian. See more Dave S 02/02/2021 Ulrich Seidl's Dog Days feels like something Michael Haneke might have come up with early in his career…on a bad day…with no budget. The film focuses on the residents of a housing development outside Vienna during an oppressive heatwave and that's about all that can really be said about the plot. Despite the fact that most of the characters appear to be quite loathsome, a couple of the scenes are intriguing. Unfortunately, the remainder of the scenes are baffling and are more likely to induce wincing rather than advancing a storyline or developing a character. While there may be a message buried somewhere in this thing (other than the fact that Austrians apparently don't react well to heat), the message is difficult to find and most audiences will be left asking themselves the following questions: What am I watching? Why am I watching? See more 07/23/2018 Some bad movies are kinda good. Especially when there are dogs involved. See more 04/28/2016 The interweaving stories of low lives in Austria in uncomfortable situtions. The naturalistic depression goes on for 2 whole hours, definitely not worth watching even though John Waters recommended it. See more 02/09/2013 (**): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] Its like an Austrian <i>Gummo</i> with its tone. I wanted to like it, but this is nothing more than an interesting and depressing misfire to me. See more 01/21/2013 This film is build on several stupid people. Anoyingly stupid people I must say. Not very artsy, just weird, disturbing and quite sad. I won't forget the characters in some time, and this might be the film's strongest feature. It reminded me a bit of "Gummo" mixed with "Dogtooth"s sterility and the nudity of "Idioterne". I will remember it, but not as a whole or certain scenes, just the characters. Halv a mark added since I liked that rain scene a lot. See more Read all reviews
