Life During Wartime: Review of the most recent Todd Solondz film

“Forgive and forget” is the mantra repeated throughout Todd Solondz’s Life During Wartime. It is, for all intents and purposes, a sequel to his 1998 ironic comedy Happiness, although it’s been completely recast. The new film picks up a decade or so after the first film. The characters have, in rather limited ways, grown and matured.
