In spite of clocking in at just 103 minutes, Dito Montiel‘s family crime comedy “Riff Raff” is exceptionally long.

indieWire

While Montiel is still a great “actors director,” eliciting grounded, and at times wonderfully mordant, performances from his stacked ensemble cast, the script has stranded them in a film that plays like a copy of a copy of a copy of several better films.

Rated: C-

The film’s action rarely leaves the secluded holiday home, and seeing these personalities collide has its thrills.

Movie Madness Podcast

Dito Montiel’s film suffers from so much plotting and timeline reveals that one wishes it would have all unfolded in the single room in the final act as a play where actors like Bill Murray and Ed Harris could have lit it up with nervous comic energy.

Rated: 2/4

ScreenAnarchy

Riff Raff does not want you to take anything too seriously. And yet it does want you to take it seriously enough ... offers more plot reveals, and character twists, than your average mystery movie or paranoid thriller.

Rated: 3/5

This black comedy offers few surprises, but is satisfying enough due to the talented ensemble cast.
