Carnage

Two sets of parents meet in a Brooklyn brownstone to discuss an altercation between their sons, with one boy having injured the other. What begins as a civilized discussion about the incident, however, quickly devolves into a chaotic and bitter confrontation, revealing the parents' own insecurities and repressed hostilities. As the veneer of politeness cracks, the evening descends into a volatile and darkly comedic display of human nature.
