LOVEFiLM Review Carnage

  • 3.5 stars out of 5  

    By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM

    Adapted from a play, Roman Polanski takes four acting thoroughbreds in their prime - Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, Christoph Waltz and John C Reilly - with explosive results in this comedy drama.

    The most interesting thing I found with Carnage was how the battle lines kept changing and each character sided with another then broke away again.

    The dialogue was excellent and it certainly had some great moments which made me chuckle, but the star spot goes to Miss Winslet in the chucking-up scene which was so good.

    Carnage is tightly shot in only a few rooms of an apartment and felt in many ways more like a stage play than a feature film, which isn't intended as any sort of criticism.

    It's a good film although if you like action and shoot 'em up stuff you'll find this very staid as Carnage is all about interaction and dialogue.

  • A bit tedious

    Rated - 3.5 stars

    I was looking forward to this but felt it went a bit awry. The acting was good and it was interesting to see how the characters engaged in the conversations, but I started to feel bored half way through and it became a bit like hard work.

    Good concept, funny towards the middle and end. great acting and surprisingly enjoyed it. Was expecting a great ending but it sort of fizzed out

    4 people have an argument in a flat and some unkind words are said and a couple of them get upset. And that took 2 minutes...

    I was really looking forward to seeing this film, but alas I was not overly impressed. Although the acting was overall good, I found myself not really caring how things turned out in the end !
