And the dramatic gears grind a little during certain shifts of allegiance along couple and gender lines. Lee Marshall of The London Evening Standard makes reference to the film’s original roots, saying, “Little attempt is made to disguise the fact that this is the film of a play. There’s often a darkly funny undertone to Polanski’s work, but this reinforces that he’s got a real knack for comedy, for perhaps the first time since “Fearless Vampire Killers,” and we hope he doesn’t neglect that particular muscle from here on out.” The play brought down houses around the world, and the director and his cast hit every beat with expert timing there are moments here that rival anything we’ve seen in recent years for hilarity. The film scores a C+ with IndieWire, though the reviewer notes, “It’s been a while since Polanski’s done an out-and-out comedy (unless you count Pierce Brosnan‘s performance in “The Ghost Writer”-oh, snap!), and the good news is that “Carnage” is very, very funny. “Snappy, nasty, deftly acted and perhaps the fastest paced film ever directed by a 78-year-old, this adaptation of Yasmina Reza‘s award-winning play God of Carnage fully delivers the laughs and savagery of the stage piece while entirely convincing as having been shot in New York, even though it was filmed in Paris for well-known reasons,” he continues, referring to the 1977 sexual abuse case still looming over the director’s head. The Hollywood Reporter’s Todd McCarthy writes, “ Roman Polanski has often been at his best in close quarters - the small yacht of Knife in the Water, the Warsaw ghetto of The Pianist, the house in The Ghost Writer, the apartments in Repulsion, Rosemary’s Baby and The Tenant - so it should be no surprise that he’s right at home examining the venality of the human condition in the living room of the Brooklyn apartment that serves as the setting for Carnage.” ISBN 978-193.PHOTOS: 10 Films to Know at Venice Film Festival Tome of Terror: Horror Films of the Silent Era.
