Dark comedy with Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen? Sign me in.
But what I got, was definitely not a comedy. There are some laughs in this film, but mostly it's a heavy drama about unbalanced, desperate people. And a very well made one.
'Ingrid Goes West' is so real, so brutal, that it makes the audience uncomfortable, but you still can't look away. This is what the world of social media is when taken to extreme. It's reality for thousands of people, if not for millions.
Sad, yet important and powerful, look at our society today.
