An all-star cast playing vibrant complex and engaging characters is the standout feature of this black comedy that explores the dysfunction that can permeate an impromptu family reunion.  

 Vincent (Ed Harris) is a reformed criminal who has put his criminal past behind him and is enthusiastically living on the straight and narrow. On a getaway to his holiday home with his new wife Sandy (Gabrielle Union) and his stepson, the peace is shattered by the arrival of his estranged son Rocco, Rocco’s pregnant girlfriend and Vincent’s drunk and horny first wife Ruth (Jennifer Coolidge) who are on the run from two gangsters Lefty ( Bill Murray) and Lonnie (Pete Davidson).  

The character work is exceptional. Coolidge’s Ruth is jaw droppingly unfiltered and her ability to be cringe inducing is impressive. Bill Murray as Lefty is equally impressive playing a philosophical cold-blooded killer with a healthy dose of comedic charm.  

Within this great cast Ed Harris stands out, equally believable as a man with a violent history and a truly reformed family man trying to stay on the right path.  

Riff Raff examines our relationship with ourselves, our past and our bonds of friendship, obligation and family in a darkly comedic way. – RW
