I was informed yesterday that a quote from my NYFF review of Roman Polanski’s Carnage was included in the new trailer/promotional spot, which can be seen running before the actual video below. Mine is the first quote that floats up from the black. I suppose one day I may be “over” being quoted, and there are some people who appear to write their reviews in order to be quoted (this list is hilarious), but this is my first time, so I am reveling in it.
