'Morally, you're supposed to overcome your impulses, but there are times you don't want to overcome them.' - this sentence says everything about the movie. Theatrically weird, but very nice to see. A concrete picture of today's society.

Fantastico. Tenere così alto un ritmo del genere per un'ora con solo una stanza a disposizione è impresa clamorosa. Riesce ad infilare in un crescendo magnifico molte delle le contraddizioni della società attuale, con gente bella fuori e marcia dentro. Ipocrisia e falsità in un susseguirsi di dialoghi feroci e taglienti, con punte di strepitosa ilarità.

After every tirade I was waiting for everyone to yell "ACTING" and then bow to the audience. A pretty atrocious bore with embarrassing performances. I'm usually down for cinematic translations of stage plays but this one plays poorly.

Alan Cowan: Penelope, I believe in the god of carnage. The god whose rule's been unchallenged since time immemorial.

How two middle-aged couples crossed the line of social contract towards natural instincts through the path of dialogs only (and perhaps a little whisky) . Technically, a little Sleuth, a little the Man from Earth... if you know what I mean.

Very solid performances!! Only few actors can do this. They are very natural, and the script is amazing!! I would love to see this on stage!!

An entertaining play adaptation with solid performances. Despite the nagging feeling that something was missing by the time it ended I did enjoy Carnage.

It's not bad with fair acting, especially by Waltz. It just comes as nothing more than a vile satire danced by characters on a territorial level of consciousness. A lost opportunity to do something really interesting.

Definitely, a superb performance. I will not give a damn on its technicality, because the fact that it is a stage play adaptation makes it hard to establish the kind of attention and pleasure one can get from watching a stage play, especially the microscopic observation and awareness we need to have for every character. Job well done, Polanski!

A great screen adaptation of Yasmina Reza's play. It is fun to see the escalation ensuing from the couples' off-track discussion over their perspective of gender, marriage, livelihood and family. These discussions are a weak effort from each character to enforce their logic onto the other, driving the point home that this is the root of all carnage and chaos. Good to watch after having an argument.

Entretenido, aunque demasiado teatral, y eso en el cine es estancamiento, falta de movilidad. http://bit.ly/QfO63o

Even though I liked this I found that it doesn't translate very well to the big-screen and it seemed sort of forced. However Polanski was great and the cast was very believable and entertaining to watch.

i enjoyed how the animosity between the characters developed slowly....like a pot of water coming to a boil on low heat.

Some may find the translation to the screen to be stifled and unnecessary, but the cast puts in some of their best performances, and Polanski is more on point than he's been in years.

I didn't find this funny. I found it creepy.

Maybe it's just because I'm a male, but I thought they did a really good job of making the women seem completely insane compared to the men.

Seria perfeito se não fosse o chorume teatral escorrendo.

Um show de interpretação de todos os atores, roteiro excelente e simples. A face oculta e velada de dois casais "exemplares".

Achei essa adaptação tragicômica funcional e divertida. Não sei se a peça da Reza possui alguma influência, mas me lembrei muito do filme "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?". Além de ambos serem peças transpostas para o cinema (com a teatralidade mantida de forma que não prejudicasse a narrativa), envolvem casais em ebulição/em conflito (com a ajudinha do álcool), diálogos afiadíssimos e um conjunto de atuações eficaz.
