Statically filmed by Polanski the film version lacks punch and zest.

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.

The acting marathon is adroitly blocked and paced by Polanski and impeccably shot by Pawel Edelman.

The funniest movie I saw last year. A short, tart, altogether delectable slice of misanthropy.

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.

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

Few recent movies have been this perceptive about such immediate human conflicts, much less this funny.

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.

Running a mere 80 minutes, "Carnage" still feels longer than it should.

"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.

Brief, brutal and barmy.
