Quirky, Funny... Enjoy the vignettes, 6 February 1999
8/10
Author: Harry-22 from NYC

I was surprised by the number of times I caught myself smiling or laughing quietly during The Alarmist (AKA Life During Wartime), a film where the parts are definitely greater than the whole. Be prepared to all but ignore the plot, which is unnecessary except as a place to loosely hang some wonderful performances by everyone involved.
