Carnage (2011) 8/10

Starring : Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, John C Reilly
Director : Roman Polanski
Running Time : 80 mins

Penelope (Foster) and Michael Longstreet (Reilly) invite Nancy (Winslet) and Alan Cowan (Waltz) to their home so that they can discuss the Cowan boys attack on their son. Things start out civil enough, but as the afternoon progresses the two couples slowly devolve into childish ways and start arguing with each other over the least little thing.

Considering this entire movie is about a discussion between two sets of parents and that nothing else happens, this was quite an entertaining flick. All involved play their roles perfectly and make what could easily have been a dull, flat performance into something with substance and attitude. Even Waltz and Winslet’s American accents are pretty good, which could have been a bugbear if they’d have been awful.
