A creeping Polanski indulgence.
Two couples meet to resolve a fight between their sons at school - one has thwacked the other with a stick.
They're incredibly annoying people: Christoph Waltz is a lawyer, constantly taking calls on his cellphone, Kate Winslet is his wife, a broker always going for the throat. John C. Reilly is a home supplies salesman, and Jodie Foster a right-on writer. I'd have come to blows with this lot if they'd been at my house.
There follows over an hour of bickering, arguing, point-scoring, and general heated conversation, about which the viewer cares almost nothing.
Give this a wide berth.
