Riff Raff

About This Movie

Riff Raff dives into the chaos of a retired hitman’s holiday when his past crashes through his quiet life. The atmosphere is a blend of dark comedy and heartfelt drama, capturing that bittersweet vibe perfectly. The pacing is erratic, much like the protagonist’s emotions, swinging from tension-filled moments to quirky family interactions. Themes of redemption and the complexity of familial ties are explored, though not always with the smoothest touches. The performances feel raw and genuine, especially during those awkward family dinners that turn into chaos. It's a distinctive mix of humor and gravity, aided by practical effects that ground the action in a way CGI can't. A unique take on the holiday film, that somehow juggles both laughs and genuine stakes.
