88Think "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," but then think fun.

Oct 4, 201180Relatively light-hearted for a Polanski film (no one dies), Carnage is fun verbal warfare cleanly filmed.
-
80A quartet of pitch-perfect performances from a cast uniformly at its career best, together with a director on shockingly mischievous top form, this is a shot of pure, exhilarating cinematic malice. And if nothing else, it contains the most surprising puking sequence since Monsieur Creosote.
-
60If anything, Carnage does too little to adapt to the new medium, and the result is a film that makes its audience feel as trapped as its characters.
