Synopsis
The Riot Club (2014) is a sharp British drama you can watch online on iFILM. Two Oxford freshmen are tapped for a secret dining society where a single dinner can make a name or wreck one.
The club holds just ten members, each the heir to old money and a famous surname. Max Irons and Sam Claflin play Miles and Alistair, two newcomers who walk in for different reasons and leave indistinguishable once the wine and the loyalty oaths take hold. It starts as a game of Latin toasts and tradition. By the end of the night, a rented country pub becomes the stage for the kind of cruelty privilege expects to buy its way out of.
Director Lone Scherfig adapts Laura Wade's stage play Posh and aims straight at British class arrogance. The ending is meant to sting — this is a story about people who never face the bill. Stream The Riot Club (2014) online on iFILM.
