The power is back on!
Set in contemporary Brooklyn, New York, Carnage centers on two pairs of parents one of whose child has hurt the other at a public park, who meet to discuss the matter in a civilized manner. However, as the evening goes on, the parents become increasingly childish, resulting in the evening devolving into chaos.

"It isn't as compelling on the screen as it was on the stage, but Carnage makes up for its flaws with Polanski's smooth direction and assured performances from Winslet and Foster."

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

"The film's an even four-hander, with awful behavior spread evenly among the characters and spellbinding performances by the quartet of co-leads."
Tampa Bay Times

"Carnage gives Polanski the best opportunity to express his devilish sense of humor in decades, proving again that comedy really is tragedy happening to someone else."
Boxoffice Magazine

"Relatively light-hearted for a Polanski film (no one dies), Carnage is fun verbal warfare cleanly filmed."
The Hollywood Reporter
Reviewed by: Todd McCarthy
"Snappy, nasty, deftly acted and perhaps the fastest paced film ever directed by a 78-year-old, this adaptation of Yasmina Reza's award-winning play God of Carnage fully delivers the laughs and savagery of the stage piece."
