Though the movie plays up the more deranged side of Aubrey Plaza’s character, rest assured that this movie is also extremely funny, albeit often in a twisted way. The opening of the film, where Ingrid crashes a wedding by spraying mace at the bride and calling her some not-very-nice words (which you’re able to see it in the trailer above) is quite shocking, and it sets the stage for the craziness to come.
We caught the film at Sundance earlier this year, andour own Peter Sciretta wrote, “Ingrid Goes Westis not just your average comedy film, but a smart commentary on our social media obsessed world.” It also comes with outstanding performances from the entire cast, especiallyO’Shea Jackson Jr.(Straight Outta Compton) in a charming and funny role. Plus, Elizabeth Olsen’s vapid send-up of Los Angeles personalities is as spot-on as it is tragically hilarious.
Ingrid Goes Westwasone of our favorite films of Sundance, and it’s one that you will undoubtedly enjoy if you seek it out. It gets a little darker than you might think, but it makes for a fantastic directorial debut fromMatt Spicer, who also wrote the script withDavid Branson Smith, which won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting award at the fest.
