Review: Carnage

“Four solid performances — Jodie Foster & John C. Reilly, Kate Winslet & Christoph Waltz — keep Yasmina Reza’s satirical drama above the level of highbrow sitcom … but only just. The bombastically overstated title never delivers on its promise of emotional violence; the characters in ‘Carnage’ are ultimately too shallow to generate any great revelations or catastrophes.”
