Movie review - "Carnage" (2012) ***

Roman Polanski loves a film set in a cramped room - it'll mean he's never out of work since they're cheap to make. Judging by the credits though they still found a way to make this cost a bit - every man and his dog is credited as a producer or financier. The casting is very UN - it's set in New York and is about New Yorkers but was shot in Paris and the cast includes two foreigners in accents. The acting is fine - everyone is a good actor, although I felt Jodie Foster pitched her performance a bit too highly. It's skillfully written although there are two scenes with a couple about to leave then invited back for a snack (they could have gotten them to come back by talking about why one kid hit the other - which isn't really explored). Also there isn't really an ending. Still, for the most part this held.
