Carnage
Following a playground altercation between their two 11-year-old sons, two sets of parents, the Longstreets and the Cowans, agree to meet at the Longstreets' Brooklyn apartment to resolve the matter in a civilized way. However, what begins as a cordial and polite discussion soon unravels as passive-aggressive remarks and clashing perspectives give way to open hostility. Fueled by clafoutis, espresso, and eventually scotch, the carefully constructed veneers of social grace crumble, exposing the deep-seated resentments, marital discord, and personal hypocrisies of all four adults. The afternoon descends into a chaotic and vitriolic battle of wills, where alliances shift and personal attacks escalate, ultimately revealing that the parents are far more savage and childish than their own children.
