Critics: “One of those instances where staying close to the enclosed action of the stage version is the perfect cinematic choice.” - The Wrap
“An actor's playground, with Winslet and Foster practically leaping off the screen with the fearsome ridiculousness of their performances” - Filmcritic.com
“Carnage is satisfied to be an absolutely virtuoso piece of cinema craft, and to give its excellent cast multiple opportunities to show off their comedic chops, which are considerable.” - MSN Movies
