"Rich Kids"

This a perfect example of why I love indie films. It's fairly low budget, but features a brilliant script and excellent acting from a relatively unknown cast of young actors. On the surface, the story is simple. A group of poor, teenage Latinos break into the estate of some rich people who are away on vacation. They play in the swimming pool, raid the bar, and dress up in the family's fancy clothes. But the story goes a lot deeper. They explore their relationships with each other and the world in general. It gets pretty deep and philosophical and ends up in places I didn't expect when the film started. And the acting is practically flawless. I also enjoyed the soundtrack. Highly recommended.
4 out of 5 stars
