Ingrid Goes West (2017)

Very Cool!!!

Thanks for the memories!

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A great satire. What ever happened to just enjoying a film?

Quite enjoyed this film but corona has more screen time than any of the actors

Ingrid Goes West is another comedy/drama lead by Aubrey Plaza. It's unfortuanate that many of her leading roles are flopping at the box office despite her strong performances and her being praised by critics. This film, she plays her trypical character and it works as usual.This film feels as if it should have been bigger, as it would appeal to many young people and their love and interest for coming of age films around social media.Ingrid Goes West is constantly moving and interesting at each point, due to the performance and strong directing. It shows how social media can be a disease and that there really are people like the character Aubrey Plaza played in the film in today's day. The film makes sure to not go over board and as expected a dark turn within the final act occurs, as it should keeping the film intriguing.The ending is quite real and shows how much of an impact social media can have upon people in general. Highly recommend this film

'Ingrid Goes West' is like a train wreck happening before your eyes. It's tough to watch, but you can't look away. It's not tough in the sense that it's a bad movie (it's actually a surprisingly good movie), it's tough to watch in the sense that this character ('Ingrid') is so damaged, confused and broken that it is nothing short of heart-breaking. As she is even told at one point in the movie she needs professional help. The line drawn between comedy and drama is a fine one here. To me this is almost entirely a drama, with only the odd speck of humour thrown in the mix. Having said that if someone told me they found this a very funny and even light-hearted movie I could understand that perspective as well. I think it works best as a very dark drama though. A character study of someone who is not right in the mind.I thoroughly enjoyed the performance of O'Shea Jackson Jr. in the film. His character (a Batman lover, much like myself) brought some real and genuine charm to the film. His character perfectly balanced things out for 'Ingrid' and gave her character hope of a better "normal" life. As an audience member it was important to have him there. If she was entirely on her own I think it would be too bleak to bear. For me 'Ingrid Goes West' was a tough watch, but a worthy one nonetheless. I'm glad I saw it, but I don't think I ever want to watch it again.
