Carnage (2011)

Two pairs of parents hold a cordial meeting after their sons are involved in a fight, though as their time together progresses, increasingly childish behavior throws the discussion into chaos.

A stagebound script is turned into a wildy entertaining (and even realistic) black comedy thanks to professional direction a cast all at the top of their art.

Maltin**1/2: "...elegantly filmed, with virtually no "opening up" of the action, but lacks the claustrophobic intensity one might expect from Polanski and that was crucial to the pieces's success onstage. Perforamnces, though entertaining, also start at a high pitch and - with the exception of Waltz's - never deepen."
