The Riot Club
In a story that looks quite different, with two people, Miles Richard and Alistair Ryle, who went to Oxford to study history. Both men may be in a dangerous phase as the two friends soon seized the 'riot club,' a centuries-old secret society dedicated to eating and drinking immorality. In this changing phase of the life of both friends, they seem to emerge from the unconscious world of dances, liquor and sophistication, as Miles and Alistair seem to enjoy the time of their lives in that strange period of their lives.

[A] lack of subtlety throws the film into a spiral of excess that knocks over any chance at intelligent commentary as it plows forward, drunk on its own narrative.April 17, 2015
An tough to watch but entertaining inside look at the vulgar side of the posh life.February 27, 2016
If the movie were solely [the] forty-five or so minute [debaucherous centerpiece of a banquet] it'd be a resounding success.June 24, 2015
At an exclusive Oxford club, privilege and cruelty have become second natureMarch 26, 2015
I was drained and quivering with fury and disgust.December 18, 2015
If you think the English class system is a thing of the past, this savage indictment the country's privileged will set you straight.April 15, 2015
Who's up for a little blunt-force social commentary about the haves and have-nots, set in the rarefied clime of Oxford University?March 26, 2015
The Riot Club is, finally, a monster movie. Which I suppose is what some become who are too rich and powerful to be bothered with inhibitions or morality.March 26, 2015
The Riot Club comes with the dubious ambition of instructing us as to the evil ways of spoiled British toffs, as if that were needed.March 27, 2015
It's a film that seems to have no further point than to remind us that some powerful jerks were once powerful jerk kids. Point taken, but it's not cinematically satisfying.April 09, 2015
Although the performances are uniformly on point and the dialogue is tartly British, the film ultimately fails to earn its riotous stripes.
