Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Brief, brutal and barmy.

rotten:
Where previously we felt as trapped in Polanski's apartments as his characters, in Carnage we only ever peek in through the window.

rotten:
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.

rotten:
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.

fresh:
If we grant that "Carnage" is a low-impact exercise in stripping away the social veneer, it's nonetheless brisk and enjoyable.
