What a weird film this is. Ingrid Goes West is an indie comedy from director Matt Spicer, making his feature directorial debut. It’s about a self-centered, vain woman obsessed with Instagram who moves to Los Angeles to chase down, mimic and befriend another Instagram celebrity. Aubrey Plaza plays the deranged woman who has nothing to live for in life except “Likes”, so she takes some inheritance money and starts replicating the lifestyle of an internet-famous person living a “perfect” life. While this sounds like it could be a good drama, it’s actually a comedy with some wild laughs, even though they’re at the expense of people who live obsessive, narcissistic lives. The film is enjoyable overall, but has a few problems that hold it back. ›››
