Aubrey Plaza Loves Instagram and Elizabeth Olsen a Little Too Much, In the Trailer for Ingrid Goes West
EntertainmentThis is the loose premise for Ingrid Goes West, a new movie starring Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen. In it, Plaza plays the titular Ingrid, a young woman fresh out of a psychiatric hospital who makes her way to Los Angeles, hot on the trail of her favorite lifestyle blogger, the buttery blonde and #blessed Taylor Sloane (Elizabeth Olsen). Because simply living in the same city as your Instagram-perfect idol is usually not enough, Ingrid’s genius plan is to “steal” Taylor’s dog, return it to her and therefore become her friend. It’s a plan so deviously perfect that there’s no way it won’t blow up in her face!
Plaza plays the deadpan, wild-eyed, deranged ingenue so very well, and Elizabeth Olsen has the look of a sun-streaked-and-hashtag-obsessed Instagram #influencer down pat. Ingrid Goes West opens August 11.
