Look, this is a tough one. The premise is genuinely interesting, and a 72% on Rotten Tomatoes means it's not a dumpster fire. But you're basically signing up to watch a smart kid build a cheating empire for an hour and a half.
The saving grace is that 'great risk to her future' bit—sounds like consequences are coming. And honestly? In our current college-admissions-hellscape era, this could spark some really important conversations about why kids feel pushed to these extremes.
But here's the thing: the ratings are just... fine. A 6.2 on IMDb and a 3 on Letterboxd (out of 5) suggests this is watchable but not amazing. So you're not missing some cultural touchstone if you skip it.
If you've got a 15-year-old who's feeling the academic pressure and can handle some moral ambiguity, this might be worth a watch together. But for younger teens or solo viewing? Maybe wait until they're old enough to really think critically about why this is a compelling story but a terrible life choice.
