‘Ingrid Goes West’
Influencer culture is becoming larger and more powerful by the day. Even though Ingrid Goes West came out seven years ago, it is feeling more true to some people’s behaviors with every passing day. Ingrid (Aubrey Plaza) is a bit unstable and is looking for something or someone, to make that life better. In comes Taylor Sloane (Elizabeth Olsen), a popular Instagram influencer who lives in California, all the way across the country from Ingrid. Ingrid decides to pack up her bags, move to California, and trick Taylor into being her friend. What could go wrong? The two actresses turn in thrilling performances while serving as great foils to each other. This examination of parasocial behaviors and social media celebrities puts the audience on a roller coaster ride of trickery that will captivate them from beginning to end.
