Saw "Carnage" on the Cathay Pacific flight to HK... had missed it in the theatres earlier.
After two kids get into a fight on the playground, the parents of the bully visit the parents of the victim to apologize and work it out amicably. What starts out as a very polite and amicable discussion however, soon escalates into a full-fledged verbal war, with all four revealing their true colors. The tussle between their outward personalities and their true inner selves, and the slow and steady change in their tone, their behaviour and language is fascinating.
All four - Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John Reilly - play amazing characters, very different from each other, and very real persons that you will instantly recognize and relate to!
A good watch on DVD.
