Synopsis

In a mix of dry comedy, dysfunctional family drama, and broad satire, Todd Solondz returns to the main characters of his nihilistic 1998 film, Happiness. Life During Wartime focuses on the same three Jordan sisters, only played now by Shirley Henderson, Allison Janney, and Ally Sheedy. Despite having drastically different (and ostensibly better) lives ten years later, they are still affected by past traumas--perversion, pedophilia and suicide--and grappling with identity issues and forgiveness. The same goes for their children. Featuring Dylan Riley Snyder, Michael K. Williams, Charlotte Rampling, and Paul Reubens. "Todd Solondz may have made his best film" (Variety). Nominated for the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

this film did not have one redeeming character. Perhaps they were meant to be cartoon characters. If so they succeeded. It was ridiculous and a waste of time. We waited for it to become meaningful but unfortunately it never did.
