Ingrid Goes West

An American black comedy drama; A story about a woman craving recognition who becomes obsessed with using social media, which leads to her inserting herself into the life of an unsuspecting influencer. This satirical stalker fantasy strikes a fine balance between topical humour and horror, emboldened by timely social observations. It also has an interesting visual style which is used to good effect. It is well acted and clever in its depiction of neediness and self-obsession but it falls short in its timidity to take on the bigger psychological problem of the character which is evident in the way the film concludes.
