From NetFlix:

In this comic drama from director Roman Polanski, two sets of parents meet in the aftermath of an incident in which one of their children bullied the other. As the evening progresses, the adults confront each other in increasingly hostile ways.

Kathy, my wife, saw “Carnage” as a play at the Huntington in Boston.

Two couples begin a “civilized” discussion over their sons’ playground behavior. Over the course of this meeting, the talk becomes more and more combative. Husbands join forces. Kate Winslet vomits dramatically. Christopher Waltz spends much of the time on his cellphone defending a sleazy company from big Pharma. And eventually everyone gets drunk on 18-year-old Scotch.

Does this sound like fun? At first I thought it was going to be harsh and difficult to watch. But it turned into Sid Cesar and Imogene Coca (two 50’s TV comedians specializing in this type of vaudeville humor). At times there was too much yelling, which is sometimes a sign of bad writing.

Finally I was laughing out loud. No telling how you will react.
