Rich Girl

About This Movie

Rich Girl (1991) offers a glimpse into the life of a privileged Beverly Hills teen who takes a rather unorthodox detour by working as a waitress. The film has this laid-back, almost dreamy atmosphere that captures the stark contrasts of wealth and the pursuit of genuine connection. The pacing feels a bit slow at times, allowing the emotional beats to breathe. The performances, particularly from the lead, add a layer of authenticity to her struggles with love and identity, especially as she gets involved with a rock singer. It's not just a romance; it digs into themes of self-discovery and the pitfalls of materialism, and while it might not have the slick production values of bigger films, there's a certain charm in its simplicity that really stands out.

Subtle exploration of class dynamics. · Interesting character development. · Noteworthy performances despite a modest budget.
