The Dark Mirror: "Ingrid Goes West" Reflects Our Social Media Obsessions The Netflix original film "Ingrid Goes West," released in 2017, has been making waves again due to its eerie relevance to our current social media landscape.
The movie's portrayal of a socially anxious protagonist who becomes obsessed with an Instagram influencer is more than just a dark comedy – it's a scathing critique of our collective online behavior.
One of the most striking aspects of "Ingrid Goes West" is its ability to balance satire and empathy. Ingrid, played by Aubrey Plaza, is a complex character who elicits both sympathy and revulsion in equal measure.
