Dan H @DanWade 11/01/2024 Backwoods horror characters in an affluent English setting. Some of the weirdest and most disturbing characters I've seen since Texas Chainsaw Massacre. See more Amy M @RT78579863 10/05/2024 An over-the-top depiction of upper class Oxford students but in a good way. The cast is full of great actors, many of whom have gone on to some incredible roles. Definitely worth a watch. Some added elements from the original play is it based on which aren't really needed but a great watch!

Strong performances from the entire cast; The Riot Club is a dark academia story that will certainly leave you with some food for thought. See more 04/12/2021 What starts out as an interesting examination of privilege and class ends up to be a totally implausible and overlong exercise which belies its original existence as a play See more 02/16/2021 What a total pile of crack full of overprivalaged toff twats, I despise everything these upturned noses stand for See more 08/02/2020 The film is well-paced and features fine performances. The talented young cast has chemistry and make the most of the material. Where it goes wrong, IMO, is in making a major change from the source material (the stage play "Posh."). The director decided to give Miles a love interest, and make her and their relationship, if not exactly central, intrinsic to the plot. It was an unneeded and unwelcome, for me, change that was intended to add an extra edge but ended up blunting the existing ones instead. This character drained the show of its originality and made it vaguely reminiscent of an 80s Teen Rom-Com, but without the nice ending. Had they left the plot as it was, the climactic scene in which everything goes haywire would have made way more sense. I happen to like Holliday Grainger, who plays the girlfriend in question. There is nothing wrong with her performance. But the character still throws it all off balance. See more Read all reviews
