INGRID GOES WEST



Ingrid Thorburn, an unstable young woman with a checkered past, secretly moves to Los Angeles to  befriend Taylor Sloane--an Instagram "influencer" with a fabulous artist boyfriend, a camera-ready terrier, and an array of new products and brands to promote to her followers.  After Ingrid adopts a Taylor-made identity for herself, her attempts to prove she's  BFF material are underway- that is, until she meets Taylor'
s obnoxious brother Nicky, who threatens to tear down her façade.  The movie brilliantly satirizes the world of social media and proves that being seemingly-perfect isn't all it's cracked up to be.  The movie can be disturbing for my generation but does focus on the dark side of social media.  I give it a 5.  Stars Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen.
