Review of Ingrid Goes West (2017) by Dawdlingpoet — 25 Nov 2021
This is a relatively thought-provoking watch focussing on a very contemporary theme - the younger generation's obsession with social media and how shallow it is. Its also about manipulation. I thought it was a bit like an episode of Black Mirror.
The plot is perhaps a little predictable but I thought it was a pretty good watch regardless - one I may have recommended to parents wanting to warn kids of the dangers of becoming obsessed with social media 'influencers', I suppose, if it weren't for the final scene, which I didn't feel was entirely credible.
It had an unnecessary cheesiness to it. I thought it was quite realistic for the most part, until that final bit but I wouldn't say it's not worth a watch at all based on the very last scene, which lasts barely a minute.
I'd still say its worth a watch overall.
