A dramedy infused with crime and featuring an impressive ensemble cast, directed by the dependable Dito Montiel, was sufficient to place Riff Raff on my must-watch list long before its premiere at the International Film Festival. The film’s wicked humor and chaotic family antics create an endlessly engaging blend of genres. While certain performances shine brightly, Montiel’s latest work is undoubtedly a collaborative effort—Jennifer Coolidge’s portrayal of a foul-mouthed, inebriated divorcee is perfectly cast. The familial twist distinguishes this film from others in its category. By adopting a heartfelt perspective on a dysfunctional family caught in a revenge scheme, Riff Raff presents a moody ensemble crime thriller infused with a darkly comedic edge.
