Plot:
Friends, family, and lovers struggle to find love, forgiveness, and meaning in a war-torn world riddled with comedy and pathos.
Separated from her incarcerated husband Bill (Hinds), Trish (Janney) is about to be married again. Bill is a pedophile, so Trish couldn't be more excited to have Harvey (Lerner), a "normal" father figure for her two sons. But when Bill is released from prison and the boys finally meet their future stepdad, the family is forced to decide whether to forgive or to forget. Trish's sister, the virginal, angelic Joy (Henderson), is also haunted by ghosts of lovers past.


On leave from her degenerate husband, Allen (Williams), and her job at a New Jersey correctional facility, Joy unwittingly leaves behind a trail of shame and exposed secrets wherever she goes. In one of the film's most stylized sequences, the image of Joy walking the dark streets of Miami in her nightgown maintains her innocence against a backdrop of self-affliction and desire



Life During Wartime English Film Reviews :

In writer/director Todd Solondz's part sequel/part variation on his acclaimed film Happiness, three sisters and the people they love struggle to find their places in an unpredictable and volatile world where the past haunts the present and imperils the future.
The question of forgiveness and its limits threads throughout a series of intersecting love stories, offering clarity and, perhaps, alternatives to the comforts of forgetting. Ten years have passed since a series of shocking and catastrophic revelations shattered the world of the Jordan family. Now, ghosts circle and loom, trouble and console as sisters Joy (Shirley Henderson), Trish (Allison Janney), and Helen (Ally Sheedy) are each embroiled in their own unique dilemmas. As these characters and storylines dovetail, expand and collide, they create an emotionally resonant portrait of prisoners of love and life. Alternately hilarious and tragic, outrageous and poignant, Life During Wartime is an audacious comedy with unexpected resonance.
What's it about? 'Wartime' could be quite literal, as America is still at war in Afghanistan. Or perhaps the war is an allusion to the troubles in Israel, this being an overtly Jewish picture much of the time. Wartime has other allusions though - family, lovers, and the concomitant pain and death - and all this is in keeping with the faintly soap-operatic excess of the film.


Some good things first. The pre-title sequence could be sold to cinemas as a short in its own right. Michael K. Williams may never get a role as good as Omar (in The Wire) but he deserves it - the man has range. Opposite him is the remarkable Shirley Henderson, an almost perfect Solondz character-actor. These two, along with Paul Reubens as the geek- spectral Andy provide the backbone to the film where sorrow and self- pity can suddenly run up against twisted, spitting malevolence.
Exploring the middle-ground cats' cradle of forgiveness is the brilliant Alison Janney with wonderful support from Dylan Riley Snyder as her sharp but immature son Timmy. Ciaran Hinds deserves plaudits for playing his difficult role exactly as it should be, i.e. grizzled but lucid and with a hint of dangerous masculinity.
Yet the film doesn't land any substantive punches because it's just too tough a topic. Solondz's sense of style is cultured and precise - effective - but leaves little room for the mental sidestepping that the audience must do. There's a hopscotch game of melodrama, allegory, humour and even glamour which cannot sustain the blunt existential abyss at the lip of the bruised heart of the film. Or maybe its so depressing I can't bear to consider it myself. 6/10
