Ingrid Goes West movie quotes help tell the story of what happens when one obsessive fan moves across the country to befriend an Instagram influencer. The comedy-drama was directed by Matt Spicer using a screenplay he co-wrote with David Branson Smith. Ingrid Goes West opened in theaters in the United States on August 11, 2017.
In Ingrid Goes West, Ingrid Thorburn (Aubrey Plaza) has a bad habit of obsessing over complete strangers she follows on social media. For instance, Ingrid followed Charlotte (Meredith Hagner) as she planned a dream wedding only to be enraged when Charlotte didn't invite her. So Ingrid showed up anyway and maced Charlotte at the reception.
This only intensified when Ingrid began following Taylor (Elizabeth Olsen). Ingrid moved from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles to live near Taylor and inserted herself into Taylor's life through a strange ruse. But when Taylor's brother Nicky (Billy Magnussen) learns of Ingrid's obsession, things get ugly.
Ingrid Goes West was just one of several summer 2017 movies in theaters along with The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature, Kidnap, The Glass Castle, and The Dark Tower.
