Carnage (2011) Directed by Roman Polanski

Summary: A 'civilized discussion' between the parents of two boys involved in a violent altercation turns ugly as each adult's true feelings slowly bubble to the surface.

Things I Liked: The wardrobe chosen for each character and the way in which the costumes support the characters.  The unexpected humorous moments.

Things I Didn't Like: The pace of the film.  The sequence of events, which, ultimately, felt to me unrealistic and forced.  The writing and dialogue, which at times felt untruthful and provided little challenge for four actors of this caliber.
