A former foster kid who grew up without a trust fund or any of the support that it entails, Grace is getting hitched to Alex Le Domas (Mark O’Brien) for all of the right reasons.


Grace (a phenomenal Samara Weaving) learns that lesson the hard way, even if money is the last thing on her mind. Inheriting it can be dangerous marrying into it can be deadly. There are other devious forces at work here, as well - the story hinges on the strange moral codes that hold families together - but most of all this is a movie about how money is always a devil’s bargain. Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin’s “ Ready or Not” can pretty much be summed up by a single line of dialogue from the movie’s relentless second act: “Fucking rich people.” Spat out through a set of bloody teeth, those words cut right to the heart of this devilishly fun late summer surprise, a violent dark comedy that (sometimes literally) skewers the 1% by inviting us into a clan who would sooner kill than surrender their good fortune.
