Ten years have passed since shocking revelations shattered the world of the Jordan family, and now sisters Joy (Henderson), Trish (Janney), and Helen (Sheedy), each embroiled in their own unique dilemmas, struggle to find their place in an unpredictable and volatile world. The past now haunts their family both literally and otherwise, and jeopardizes the future. Alternately hilarious and tragic, outrageous and poignant, LIFE DURING WARTIME is an audacious comedy with unexpected resonance.

Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes

  • A taut and tantalizing mix of salty bites and lazy blanks...

    Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times, 07.30.2010

  • [Solondz'] best to date...

    Anthony Lane, New Yorker, 08.02.2010

  • Todd Solondz keeps attempting the impossible and deserves credit for trying.

    Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle, 08.06.2010

  • [Solondz] seems mired in simply rehearsing his characters' most fatal flaws.
