Solondz's "Life During Wartime" Not Amazing? Don't Believe It.

Indiewire did a poll of all the films that were at the Toronto Film Festival. How is Todd Solondz's first film in five years getting an "Eh" shrug? I'm sure its awesome! I will remain ignorantly assured of it's awesomeness until I view it myself and hear otherwise from the "realistic" views in my head. Solondz did win the Best Screenplay award for Life During Wartime at the Venice Film Festival. So there's that. But look at this list of critics. Not one 'A.' The best review I've seen is by Todd "Why-Do-They-Use-VHS-Tapes-In-'Be-Kind-Rewind'?" McCarthy.  Mr. McCarthy even called it "[maybe] Solondz's best film." Too many haters out there. And by 'haters' I mean, 'People Who Have Actually Seen The Movie.' Here's the critics' score card:
