The Riot Club may not be subtle, but it makes its points with power, using dark humor and a talented cast to offer a scathing indictment of unearned privilege.

Who's up for a little blunt-force social commentary about the haves and have-nots, set in the rarefied clime of Oxford University? Apr 15, 2015 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Although the performances are uniformly on point and the dialogue is tartly British, the film ultimately fails to earn its riotous stripes. Apr 9, 2015 | Full Review…

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. Mar 27, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

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. Mar 26, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

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. Mar 26, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

What a sad missed opportunity it is -- a poorly written squirmathon that is the most appalling film about Oxford I have ever seen, which is saying something given the 1990s rowing horror True Blue. Feb 18, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Wade, who also wrote the screenplay, must have done her homework and the banter between these over-indulged young men sounds authentic, though one hopes their air of entitlement has been greatly exaggerated. Aug 18, 2017 | Rating: 4\5 | Full Review…

They may be scum, but those Riot Club boys sure know how to fill out a tuxedo handsomely. Aug 14, 2017 | Full Review…

If the movie were solely [the] forty-five or so minute [debaucherous centerpiece of a banquet] it'd be a resounding success. Feb 27, 2016 | Rating: B | Full Review…

If you think the English class system is a thing of the past, this savage indictment the country's privileged will set you straight. Dec 18, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

[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. Oct 7, 2015 | Rating: 4/10 | Full Review…

Until they go too far one evening, it's all very tame and silly. No rioting.
Super Reviewer
I found this very enjoyable to watch as a tale of how those of wealth and influence feel they can automatically get everything they desire without consequence.
There are no approved quotes yet for this movie.
