welcome to the rileys: mourning breaks

Image

One might assume that a film with the inviting title “Welcome to the Rileys” serves up the kooky antics of a dysfunctional family at a holiday gathering. Jake Scott’s (Ridley’s son) feature does anything but that, though there is indeed an ersatz nuclear unit at its core.
Rather, the film follows the paths of three deeply wounded individuals as they struggle to cope with the pain and misfortune that have distorted their lives. Though a
bit schematic in the interplay between the characters, “Welcome to the Rileys” has an uncommon wealth of concern for them, and as such, it is difficult not to share the sentiment.
