Carnage 2011


Carnage (2011)
     Adaptation of Yasmina Reza's play about four NY parents who meet to talk about the scuffle their boys got into at a local park.  Zachary hit Ethan and two of his teeth were damaged.  The parents believe they can come to an agreeable solution during the meeting.  At first they are all getting along but things begin to deteriorate quickly.  
     I thought as I started watching that it would be just arguing, then more arguing and getting worse as it went along.  I had hope that it would get better but that does not happen.  High powered director and cast but they could also just be kids yelling and fighting in the park, 80 minutes seems like an eternity..  2* (I didn't like this movie)

80 min, Drama directed by Roman Polanski with Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz, John C. Reilly, Elvis Polanski, Eliot Berger, Joseph Rezwin, Nathan Rippy, Tanya Lopert, Julie Adams.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 7.3 out of 10, 72% critic 68% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
