Review of Ingrid Goes West (2017) by Keithdow — 01 Sep 2017

'Ingrid Goes West' is a timely and well-executed take on the world of insta-fame. Aubrey Plaza is perfect in the role of a mentally unhinged wanna-be "it girl" armed with a smartphone, and the rest of the supporting actors are just as believably cast.

During the run-up to the ending, I found my thoughts wandering ahead, wondering how they were going to bring the story to a fitting conclusion. The actual result was unexpected, original, and incredibly prescient. Writer-Director Matt Spicer is clearly talented and his decision to make a debut feature film that focuses on two female leads is quite bold and highly respectable. As a result, we'll be keeping an eye on him, hoping Hollywood success and longevity lies ahead.
