Reilly (We Need to Talk About Kevin, Magnolia). Unpredictable and shocking, the film hilariously exposes the hypocrisy lurking behind their polite façade.Following a playground scuffle between their 11-year old children, the parents of the victim have invited the parents of the bully to their apartment to sort it out. Cordial banter gradually develops a razor-sharp edge as all four of the well-heeled American parents reveal their laughable contradictions and grotesque prejudices. None of them will escape the ensuing carnage in this hilarious new comedy.
