Wiener-Dog (2016)
5/10
Momentous performances in Weiner-dog's 4 legged/dog legged stories.
17 April 2022
Landmark performances in some of these four short stories that our four legged, Weiner-dog attempts to dog leg us through, during her life.

First stellar young talent to keep an eye on is Keaton Nigel Cooke as the son Remi. Trivia here says Nigel learned Clare de Lune on flute in 1 week?

Keaton's performance develops beloved characters for audiences, complete with perfect transference from two legged to four legged Weiner-dog.

Weiner-dogs next journey features Bridget Brown (as April) and Connor Long (as Tommy), shattering ableist's POVs. Tommy Long founded Tapestry Theatre Company, an inclusive all-abilities troupe in Boulder County, Colorado. Connor Long as a Founder of troupe of Actors with differing abilities, whether physical or intellectual, delivers award worthy performances as perfect as these two. Connor & Bridget (as both April & Tommy) back in 2015, began to open inclusive opportunities for such talents in American Hollyweird, so very long overdue. Eventually in 2022 (7+ years later) CODA wouldve taken center stage in the Academy Awards, were it not for uptight ablest violence upstaging the event. We will gain true inclusivity! (Peacefully).

While a segue is missing leading into her third Weiner-dog journey, our four legged cutey's, two legged housemate's performance by Danny DeVito (as Prof. David Schmertz) delivers raw vulnerability that's worth the entire screening of the movie. Eventually the same emotions from DeVito which have been brewing off screen, via ingredients from entitled, whining smugette wannabe students will be served a four legged revenge with a side of satire, deliciously cold in a polka dotted tutu. Mustnt miss this master followed by yet the next master.

The last, fourth journey weiner-dog story and her next two legged cohabitant: Ellen Burstyn's (as Nana) is a Maggie cold jar codger with another invincible exterior. This two legged weiner-dog lover shows deeply susceptible fragility when alone.with only her four legged (as "Cancer" the weiner-dog). Facing off with Melo Ludwig's (as Young Nana's) missed choices along her lifes decades tends to lose the autumn of life continuity for both two &/or four legged companions. Has Nana been used again by a grand daughter showing up for a visit only when the money is needed? Or is attention for Cancer the que for weiner -dog to journey onward toward her fifth story?

Both Burstyn & DeVito are worthwhile contrapuntal gems to the objectionable 2016 Sundance protests which followed the scenes unnecessary, unfunny repetitions.

Missing plethoric elements needed to write, direct, film, edit, Gestalt, produce, etc etc.
