CARNAGE [2011]

Director Roman Polanski sacrifices his trademark visual style and atmosphere to focus solely on the characters in the dark comedy Carnage.

Based on a play written by Yasmina Reza, the film takes place entirely within the confines of a New York apartment and features only 4 characters all beautifully portrayed by Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz.  It's an absolute joy to see all 4 actors play off each other as they rip each other a new asshole and constantly change sides with one another.

It's a little slow to start but once it starts rolling it doesn't stop.
