Ingrid Goes West
dir. Matt Spicer · 2017
The pursuit of validation through superficial connections can lead to obsession and disillusionment in the search for genuine human relationships.
"Ingrid Goes West" is a darkly comedic exploration of obsession and identity in the age of social media, where the line between admiration and madness blurs in a vibrant, satirical landscape. This film invites viewers to reflect on the absurdity of online personas and the emotional voids they often mask.
Ingrid Thorburn is an unhinged social media stalker with a history of confusing "likes" for meaningful relationships. Taylor Sloane is an Instagram-famous "influencer" whose perfectly curated, boho-chic lifestyle becomes Ingrid's latest obsession. When Ingrid moves to LA and manages to insinuate herself into the social media star's life, their relationship quickly goes from #BFF to #WTF.
