Oddly compelling, disturbing -- some might say disturbed -- look at suburban life, Austrian style.
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle

Strangely entertaining.
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times

What some detect as cruelty in Dog Days is in fact a bleak but deeply felt humanism -- a yearning that we might all learn to better love our neighbors and, perhaps more importantly, ourselves.
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
A parade of sadism and misanthropy.
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News
