Carnage

The premise of this 2011 Roman Polanski movie could be summed up in less than ten words - "two couples arguing in an apartment".  But when the two couples are Jodie Foster & John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz & Kate Winslet the film turns into so much more.  Of the four, I have to say that Reilly really stole the show - his performance was precisely hysterical.  All the characters had a very relatable trait about them, in either a "that is me" or "I know that person" sort of way.  The movie moves a little slow, as expected from a film in which the extent of the action is four cast members talking in an apartment, but it gives the dialogue and personality a canvas on which to shine.
