Ingrid Goes West (2017)

Ingrid, a stalker of people she virtually meets via Instagram, becomes obsessed with a new celebrity and changes her life to get closer to them.

A movie that should be a dark comedy, with a focus on ... the dark bit. Well done, well written, it correctly portrays virtual and social obsessions that many Internet users suffer of, mainly due to a lack of time spent on discovering their own self because of their obsession with what one's self should be according to the accepted fashion of the moment. Coherent until the end, the film manages to keep the viewers's attention and curiosity through interesting interactions and almost natural people. One should note Ingrid(Audrey Plaza)'s autistic robot-ism when her obsession isn't looking and the natural charm of Dan as portrayed by Ice Cube's son.

Directed by: Matt Spicer (screenplay co-author)
With: Audrey Plaza, Elizabeth Olsen, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Wyatt Russell

Rating: 8/10
