Movie Review - Ingrid Goes West
Ingrid Goes West could have taken the path of becoming a nasty, bloody horror flick. All the ingredients are there: a mentally disturbed antagonist (Ingrid), a somewhat naive protagonist (Taylor), a hapless boyfriend (Dan), and a whole gaggle of mean girls. Instead, we're given a dark dramedy, full of raw emotion.
This is not a movie for everyone, but if you belong to that subculture of obsessive Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/ Snapchat users that cannot ever go to the toilet without a phone in hand, you'll relate to the movie.
I was impressed with the acting, directing, and writing of Ingrid Goes West; hats off to Matt Spicer, Aubry Plaza, and Elizabeth Olson -- the younger and more sane sister of the Olson twins.
You'll leave the theater feeling either sad, depressed, or enlightened, but you will feel something.
