"Brits might object to such an enraging portrayal, which veers between salacious and cynical, though Scherfig's unique perspective is just one more reason she was such a smart choice to handle this material."

The New York Times
The New York Times"The performances of the young cast are committedly brittle, especially Ben Schnetzer playing the antithesis of his Tory-baiting role in Pride."

The Guardian
The Guardian"While the dark drama is never dull, its portrait of upper-crust entitlement run amok is seldom surprising either."
—
Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"Well played across the board, The Riot Club is an entertaining glimpse into the dark side of privilege. Yet it lacks the richness and insight to be anything more."
