The narrative revolves around Vincent, played by Ed Harris, who gathers with his second wife and stepson for New Year's but faces trouble when his estranged son crashes the event. The film explores themes of loyalty, hidden pasts, and redemption, featuring a mixture of solid performances that balance comedy with serious undertones.
If Quentin Tarantino ever made a family film, it might look like 'Riff Raff.' Dito Montiel's darkly comic take on familial conflicts invigorates a classic narrative.
Though written by John Pollono, 'Riff Raff' intertwines past with present, enabling character depth, while ensuring humor doesn’t overshadow darker themes of violence and family.
