There's a creepy torque to Life During Wartime that is uniquely Solondz, and the high probability of viewers' unease is part of his program.

In These Times
This is the Solondz world....He evokes so effectively his own point of view, which is appalling and compulsive.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 1/5 --
With some hilarious scenes, but the majority are terribly heavy, slow and gruesome, Life During Wartime is one of those depressing films that will leave you with little more than a stomach ache... [Full review in Spanish]

Rating: 3/4 --
Solondz populates his strange little world with a host of wounded characters that are all fascinating in their own right, leaving a bittersweet and indelible impression.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The daring director is still a fascinating craftsman, but now we don't feel welcome in his dollhouse.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
4 stars out of 5 -- [T]he cast render these muddled people understandable....Janney juggles despair with forlorn hope, Charlotte Rampling grabs a brief cameo by the jugular and Dylan Riley Snyder pairs hurt with eagerness.

Helen may not be for everyone, but to at least some of us, she's irresistible.

Product Description:
Directed by Todd Solondz, this ensemble film tells the tale of a large dysfunctional family. Joy (Shirley Henderson) continues to have problems with her husband, Allen (Michael Kenneth Williams), and looks to her family for advice. A dead former boyfriend (Paul Reubens) continues to try to win her heart from the great beyond. Joy's sister, Trish (Allison Janney), meets a retiree whom she hopes will normalize her chaotic life. A third sister, screenwriter Helen (Ally Sheedy), is full of bitterness toward both her family and her career. Their mother, Mona (Renée Taylor), wants absolutely nothing to do with men. And, ex-con Bill (Ciarán Hinds), Trish's former husband, wants to reconcile with their son. LIFE DURING WARTIME is a pseudo-sequel to Solondz's HAPPINESS with different actors playing the same characters from that earlier film.
