Review of Carnage (2014) by Jillian L — 05 Aug 2013

I've been meaning to watch this one for awhile, I've read the majority of the play and really liked it. And for me, this movie version didn't disappoint. I loved seeing how the fight progressed evolving from couple vs.

couple, to men vs. women, to husband vs. wife, and all over again. The four actors are fantastic. You can tell they were having a ton of fun with these roles. Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz together are hilarious.

And I love seeing Winslet's demeanor dissolve little by little every time Waltz's phone goes off. Jodie Foster and John C. Reilly are also a of fun to watch. Foster is completely unlikeable, and the drastic character switch from Reilly is funny yet completely believable all at the same time.

I also enjoyed the way everything was shot. It was really seamless and smooth, going from room to room of the apartment, even going into the hallway, but still remaining stuck on the people. Overall, I thought this was awesome, and proves the fact that we as people never truly grow up.
