We’re far enough into the social media age now for movies to start coming out about the dangers posed by our increasingly tech-reliant world. But while there’s more than enough compelling material to be mined from the subject, more often than not the films wind up feeling like after school specials, written by people who don’t or are either unwilling to acknowledge the appeal of the technology they’re condemning in the first place. Films like 2014’s Men, Women, & Children or this year’s The Circle have all proven how easy it is to fall into those pitfalls, no matter how talented the filmmakers or actors involved in the projects are.
That’s why writer and director Matt Spicer’s Ingrid Goes West proves to be one of the more successful cinematic looks at the social media generation. Not because it’s willing to just take a shot at modern day society, but that it feels like it was made by someone who understands the appeal of social media in the first place.
