Directed by: Matt Spicer
Written by: Matt Spicer & David Branson Smith
Starring: Audrey Plaza & Elizabeth Olsen
After losing her best friend, Ingrid (Plaza) is on a search for someone to fill that spot. She follows Taylor (Olsen), a designer, on Instagram and automatically wants to be her best friend from how interesting she finds her. She moves to L.A. and hatches up a scheme to meet Taylor accidentally and become a part of her life. But when she feels that she's being replaced, Ingrid hatches up more schemes and lies that eventually catch up to her.
This film was weird, but I liked it. It basically emulated real life with how crazy people can get on social media from stalking someone to changing their personality to fit in.
This movie reminded me of "Rough Night," where Scarlett Johansson's character fought with Jillian Bells' character about how she wanted her own life and felt suffocated by Bell. That is basically this movie, but blown up.
Olsen played perfectly the L.A. girl stereotype and Plaza did too with her psycho obsession. Not to mention the moral of the story where it doesn't matter how many people like you, you just have to like yourself. Or the other moral that all those friends online are just that, online friends.
