**Ingrid of Instagram!** The film was decent, but was not my kind. I mean I've given up using the useless social media a long time ago and I'm happy the film highlighted the evil side of such platform. I liked the casting. The combinations were good. Particularly, I think Oshea Jackson should do more films. He could be the next big name. It was about the social network, revolved around Instagram platform. It's all about getting popular in the virtual world. And people are ready to do anything for that. One such incident based film is this. A young woman who lost all her friends and ended up in an asylum for a breakdown is now preparing to start afresh. So heads west, Los Angeles, and makes a friend with one of the popular Instagram stars. But the path she chooses was not conventional. She knows the consequences, yet she goes on with it, but when it all comes to that point, what happens to her was revealed at the end. As I said, it is not for everyone. It is for the young generation, particularly any generation who uses or addicted to social media. The story was not fresh enough. We've seen similar tale with a different perspective and platform. Then the result of the tale is all same. The message was good, but I don't think that was the intention of making it. Overall, good for once watching. _6/10_

_Ingrid Goes West_ is a hilarious dark satyr on the modern day relationship with social media and societal validation. Aubrey Plaza is fantastic, like she always is, and her comedic timing is brilliant here. So many lines she delivered had me cracking up. Her relationship with Elizabeth Olsen is great as well. The unlikely friendship between the two of them felt genuine and real, which really lent itself to create an impact during the more emotional moments of the film. Overall, I thought story was pretty great. There are so many aspects that audiences can resonate with while still feeling organic. I never felt like I was being hit over the head with metaphors, they were delivered naturally. This is rare film where the main character is hard to root for. She really only cares about herself and deserves pretty much everything that is coming to her but there is a sense of empathy the audience has with her. This movie shows the deterioration of her mental and even though externally she is the worst person imaginable, deep down she is doing for acceptance. It is raw and real, and sometimes incredibly hard to watch, which is what comes to fruition at the climax of the film. **Score:** _84%_ | **Verdict:** _Great_
