The funniest movie I saw last year. A short, tart, altogether delectable slice of misanthropy.June 12, 2014
Few recent movies have been this perceptive about such immediate human conflicts, much less this funny.January 13, 2012
What are supposed to be transgressive observations about the holy state of parenthood and matrimony instead come across as self-satisfied and shallow as the pieties Reza intends to puncture.September 08, 2013
Statically filmed by Polanski the film version lacks punch and zest.October 07, 2015
"Carnage" is just another in a long line of improbable movie depictions of New York as seen in "Sex and the City" and other such drivel.September 25, 2013
Running a mere 80 minutes, "Carnage" still feels longer than it should.January 31, 2012
Brief, brutal and barmy.September 14, 2014
While the film, at a staggering and quick 80 minute runtime, plays exceedingly well off the energy of the performers, the downfall ultimately lies in a "loss of steam" vigor that is evident by picture's end.January 13, 2012
If we grant that "Carnage" is a low-impact exercise in stripping away the social veneer, it's nonetheless brisk and enjoyable.January 13, 2012
Where previously we felt as trapped in Polanski's apartments as his characters, in Carnage we only ever peek in through the window.February 04, 2015
The acting marathon is adroitly blocked and paced by Polanski and impeccably shot by Pawel Edelman.January 13, 2012
The actors seem to have fun, particularly Foster, working against type as the thoroughly unlikable Penelope. But "Carnage" isn't nearly as bloody as it thinks it is.
