Ingrid Goes West (2017)

A mentally unstable woman (Aubrey Plaza) is released from a mental health facility after attacking a social media friend (Meredith Hagner) on her wedding day. When she discovers an Instagram celebrity (Elizabeth Olsen) with a seemingly trendy and fashionable life out in Los Angeles, she moves to L.A. and inveigles herself into the woman's life. So when a psychotic stalker hooks up with a narcissistic shallow L.A. media celebrity, it's only a matter of time before the shit hits the fan! Produced by Plaza (best known for PARKS AND RECREATION) and directed by Matt Spicer. This black comedy puts the spotlight on the social media generation. The people who have their Iphones attached to their hand and check messages every 5 minutes and even sleep with their phones. The ones who validate their lives by having thousands of "followers" and "going viral". Plaza's Ingrid is a hybrid of Travis Bickle and Adele H. She's psychotic but you can't help but feel her pain. The film is funny but the laughter often sticks in your craw. I'll be interested in others take on the film's ending which some might take as irony or even a happy ending. For me, it put the film in horror movie category. A monster has been unleashed. With O'Shea Jackson Jr. as Plaza's Batman obsessed landlord, Billy Magnussen and Wyatt Russell.
