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.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Rotten
The daring director is still a fascinating craftsman, but now we don't feel welcome in his dollhouse.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Fresh
For all of Solondz's mischief, we sense he likes his unhelpable characters, and that they maybe like each other. A little bit, anyway.
Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail
Fresh
An easy film to dislike, a piece of cake to admire and all but impossible to love. But I think that's part of the intent.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
