Leave your thoughts about Ingrid Goes West.
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonBitter, snide, and ultimately brutal, exactly the movie about social media we deserve; a satire that is barely satirical. Aubrey Plaza is hashtag savage. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThere are more layers to both of these women than expected, raising the film from slim comedy to something more profound (albeit still very funny). |
| The PlaylistGregory EllwoodThe movie lives and dies, however, on Ingrid herself and, remarkably, Plaza finds a way for you to root for her even when she crosses line after line after line. |
| TheWrapSteve PondSpicer has a deft touch with his story, and his cast marvelously fleshes out a bunch of people we care about even though, in most cases, we know we probably shouldn’t. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyIt's a troubling character, but she manages to invoke sympathy, without shying away from the real darkness at the center of the story. A movie like Ingrid is a balancing act of tones and styles, and yet, somehow, it barely wobbles. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomPlaza's portrayal of Ingrid drives the movie. She creates a character who is desperate, insecure, pathetic and a bit psychotic. Plaza makes you simultaneously feel sorry for Ingrid and uncomfortable being around her. |
| SFistRain JokinenIt's not by accident that Ingrid is thrust at us with no real back story and no explanation for her behavior. Ingrid may be a blank slate, but aren't we all the minute we click that "Create a New Account" button on a social media app? |
| ColliderAdam ChitwoodPlaza's tremendous performance shines, and the script thankfully is as interested in these characters as it is in commenting on social media culture. |
| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniIngrid doesn't preach, and it's deliciously cruel without ever denying its characters their essential humanity. It has sharp teeth and a big heart - more comedies should be like this. |
| Esquire MagazineKristen Yoonsoo KimIf there's just one takeaway, it's that Aubrey Plaza should be front and center as often as possible. |
