Ingrid Goes West looks at social media's dark side

Quick, what's more important: social media or real life?

For the title character in Ingrid Goes West, there is no question, and perhaps no distinction.

Powered by Aubrey Plaza's searing performance, director and co-writer Matt Spicer's feature debut explores such a dark side of social media obsession, it's hard to consider it satire. It's a story about young women who find validation in likes and followers, who equate social media experiences with real-life ones.
