In the movie "Year of the Dog", Mike White's unique style is shown   . He has always praised the script's ability to control the sense of humor and psychological discussion   . His work is ruthless, with a sharp irony, but what distinguishes him from Todd Solondz is his feelings for the troubled protagonist—and more notably, his interest in his inner life.

The rather traditional story of middle-aged male anxiety has an unexpected resonance, further confirming White's uniqueness on the big screen of American comedy. .
