Life During Wartime Reviews
Seattle Times
Michael Upchurch
Solondz, through the troubled voice of 13-year-old Timmy, does rigorous justice to the difficulties of forgiving and/or forgetting.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Life During Wartime, which feels like a movie made to fulfill a contractual obligation, says nothing new, nothing that Happiness didn't already say, only better.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Lachman and Solondz have a gift for finding the extraordinary in the ordinary and that ray of hope amid the hopelessness.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
The daring director is still a fascinating craftsman, but now we don't feel welcome in his dollhouse.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
[Solondz] seems mired in simply rehearsing his characters' most fatal flaws.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Todd Solondz keeps attempting the impossible and deserves credit for trying.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
At times, it makes you realize Solondz may be the closest heir we'll get to Robert Bresson, the French filmmaker of human despair and mysterious grace.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Here [Solondz has] made a film that is sad without energy, dead without life. As a sequel to Happiness, it regards the same lives, then as tragedy, now as farce.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It's the kind of movie I don't so much hate as find not worthy of even discussing, Solondz quickly becoming a misery-selling afterthought I no longer want to give the time of day.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Solondz has dropped off the radar of late, but the good news -- or bad news, if you've never warmed to his chilly touch -- is that this master of the jaundiced worldview is back on top of his game.
Newsweek
Jennie Yabroff
Helen may not be for everyone, but to at least some of us, she's irresistible.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
A wonderful, must-own transfer by the Criterion Collection of one of last year's best films.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
I'd never have predicted something this mediocre.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The question is: Who wants to watch these people?
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
For the first time in a long time, I'm not just curious about what this divisive director will do next but excited. It took going back to an old tune for Todd Solondz to find his voice again.
New Yorker
Anthony Lane
[Solondz'] best to date...
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
Derives its blackly comedic bite from being both tragic and immediate.
At the Movies
Michael Phillips
I can't stand the moral universe that we're dealing with here.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Not having been a big admirer of Happiness, I don't see the vast achievement in bringing that movie up to date, but a few of the performances and sequences resonate.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
A taut and tantalizing mix of salty bites and lazy blanks...
