Our take

Famed for his acerbic tone and storyworlds of weirdos, American indie Todd Solondz likes to levy the misanthropy in his films with a medical-grade dose of biting humor. Shot by Ed Lachman, Life During Wartime ensures the American middle classes don’t leave this sun-drenched comedy unscathed.
