Firstly , VaR is a measure of the minimum risk one can expect in the worst case scenario which is very subjective to that time period. It is usually applicable with certain assumptions at the hands of the user. Back in 2008 crisis , VaR was one of the significantly used parameters by banks and financial companies. It greatly underestimated the amount of capital needed to survive risk. It calculated risk based on a specific period of time which is the most stable period in centuries. So banks went into a bad time too leveraged and under capitalized.
Hence, it attracts some critism during crisis. It is calculated on a subjective probablity of loss and subjective confidence levels. Now during a global crisis the subjective assumptions and levels could play a very sensitive role in calculating the risk. Hence using this parameter will usually be dependent on the accuracy and experience of the user who will predict the levels.
