The Riot Club
Charming Miles Richard and chip on his shoulder Alistair Ryle arrive at Oxford to study history. The pair soon catch the eye of The Riot Club, a centuries-old secret society dedicated to dining, drinking an debauchery. It’s lucrative hedonism at its very finest and most extreme, and Miles and Alistair are having the time of their lives – right until the moment one fancy pub dinner escalates into a night of drugs, sex, and violence. Carnage and tragedy ensue.

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.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.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 26, 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?June 24, 2015
At an exclusive Oxford club, privilege and cruelty have become second nature
