About This Movie

Rich Kid (2025) dives deep into the clash of privilege and identity. Ethan Young, a high school senior with a math brain that can crack codes, finds himself in the wild world of public school. The film’s tone is a mix of light-hearted moments and heavier themes of belonging and self-acceptance. The pacing, at times, feels a bit uneven, which mirrors Ethan’s own struggle to fit in. The performances carry a certain rawness, especially Ethan's portrayal as he juggles his upper-class secrets while trying to lead the underdog economics team. The practical effects are subtle yet effective in capturing the nuances of high school life. It’s a narrative that raises questions about class dynamics and the sacrifices one makes for friendship.
