Ekukhanyeni okuhle nokuqondiswayo, U-Ingrid Goes West, u-Ingrid Thorburn (Aubrey Plaza) uthuthela eCalifornia ngemva kokuthola ifa likamama wakhe osanda kushona. U-Ingrid akanandaba nanoma yikuphi ukukhanya kwelanga noma amabhishi, uhamba ngokuqondile ngenxa yokuthatheka kwakhe ngomgqugquzeli wenkundla yezokuxhumana, u-Taylor Sloane (Elizabeth Olsen). Lapho efika, uthola indlela yokuthola indlela yokungena emibuthanweni yezokuxhumana ka-Sloane esebenzisa ulwazi lwakhe lwama-hangout ka-Instagram ka-Sloane, kodwa isimo sakhe esicindezelayo sisheshe simsuse ekubeni nobungane kuye kokwethusa.

IPlaza yenza umsebenzi omangalisayo lapha. Selokhu adlala umlingisi wakhe we-enginematic u-Lenny Busker kuma-FX ibutho, ukhombisile ukuthi uyakwazi ukwenza izinto ezisabisayo nezisongela ngendlela emangalisayo. Ku U-Ingrid Goes West, usebenzisa lolo hlangothi olumnyama ukuze akhe umlingiswa othusa kakhulu, kodwa uhlala ethandeka ngokwanele ukuze anikeze umlingisi ukufaneleka ezenzweni zakhe. Asibi ngasohlangothini lwakhe, ngisho nasezikhathini ezifanele ukuxega. I-Plaza ayihambisani nokushintshashintsha kwemizwa okuzokwenza ukuthi ungakhululeki. Ayishintshi indaba yokuthi usafuna ukumbona ephumelela yize uyayazi inhloso yakhe yomgadli. I-Plaza ekugcineni iyesabeka kahle.

Ifilimu itshelwa ngesihlungi esingenasici, ukuhlolwa okugxilile kwezinkulungwane zeminyaka, kanye nombono walesi sizukulwane esinawo nomhlaba wonke. Inkhulumomphendvulwano yamafilimu ikhulunywa ngokukhuluma okuhle kwenkulungwane eyinkulungwane okuba umlingiswa olingana no-Ingrid. Abalingiswa abaningi abamaphakathi bangabantu abangeke bafane nakancane, ngenxa yendlela abaphila ngayo. Kunalokho kuwukukhohlisa kuka-Sloane ngobukhazikhazi, izinkinga zesikhwama sokuthembela sikamfowabo u-Nicky noma ubuciko be-hipster obubi besoka lakhe u-Ezra, ngakunye kuletha ikhono elanele elingafani nokusiza ekwenzeni imvelo ka-Ingrid yokulandela ihlale isezingeni eliphezulu. Ngokungangabazeki, umlingiswa othandeka kakhulu kwifilimu kufanele kube umnikazi wendawo/isoka lika-Ingrid, u-Dan Pinto (O'Shea Jackson). U-Jackson uletha amabhakede amahle kanye nekhono elifana nele-Batman yakhe ethathekile, umdayisi wezidakamizwa onenhliziyo yegolide. Isimilo sakhe futhi yisona esenza okuhle kakhulu kweqembu futhi ekugcineni (naphezu kokuba umdayisi wezidakamizwa) muhle futhi ubakhathalela ngokweqiniso abantu. Isexwayiso, u-Jackson unokumomotheka okunamandla okwenza yancibilika. Ngemva kokuzalwa kwakhe Ngaphandle kweCompton okulandelwa yilokhu, ngiyethemba ukubona lo mfana ezintweni eziningi maduze.

Kukhona ithoni edlalwayo, enokubhuqa kuyo yonke indawo evula indlela ngenhloso ehlekisayo nelula, ukuze ikuholele endleleni emnyama esenzweni sayo sokugcina uma ukubola sekuqala. Akusona isiphazamiso ukusho ukuthi le filimu iza nohlobo lokuphelelwa ithemba. i-catharsis kokubili umlingiswa kanye nesizukulwane.

Ingxenye esabisa kakhulu, ukuthi umphakathi ulingisa ukuziphatha kuka-Ingrid ezikhathini ezigxile kakhulu, kanye nendlela osekuphenduke ngayo umphakathi owamukelekayo. Ngokuzayo mina noma wena sicindezela leyo nkinobho yokuvuselela kuhlelo lwethu lokusebenza lwenkundla yezokuxhumana esiyintandokazi, vele wazi ngandlela thize mina nawe singu-Ingrid… noma okungenani sibe no-Ingrid olinde ukuthi sihambe ukuze bathumbe inja yethu.
