Carnage is joyously rhythmed by the anger and indignation of its four protagonists while defusing some tension with friendly comedy. the verbal exchanges are a treat and very entertaining, although they go over the top at times. i really liked the coming apart of the couples to seamlessly form new alliances (women against men, and crossed couples), allowing for interesting divergence of opinion about civilization and education. once the characters start to rip each other, an involuntary intimacy develops. Polanski made a solid effort with his precise framing and use of space. finally, the film manages to discuss so much with the time they have in an entertaining manner.
