00:00Hey Naturally Curly World, I'm Grace and welcome to Watch and Go, the show where we do our
00:04hair while we tell you what movies we watched.
00:06Today I'm going to be reviewing Ingrid Goes West, which is a fairly new movie that just
00:11came out in theaters.
00:12A perfect day for a perfect wedding.
00:17Hashtag perfect.
00:20Happy to be sharing this day with all my favorite humans.
00:23Hashtag blessed.
00:26Is this real?
00:28Hashtag no filter.
00:30A perfect day for a perfect wedding.
00:32Yep, that's how we roll.
00:38Before I start reviewing it, I'm going to go shampoo and condition my hair with this new
00:45brand that I'm trying called Many Ethnicities Invigorating Shampoo and Moisturizing Conditioner.
00:51So I'll be right back.
00:55I put some of this Diva Curl Believe In Miracle Curl plumper in my soaking wet hair, probably
01:01about a quarter size amount.
01:03And now my hair is still pretty wet, very wet.
01:06So I'm going to put this Diva Curl frizz free volumizing foam in my hair and scrunch with
01:12a microfiber towel while I tell you about Ingrid Goes West.
01:16The reason I wanted to see it is because I love Aubrey Plaza who plays the main character
01:20in it.
01:21A lot of people compare me to April Ludgate from Parks and Rec, which I think is a pretty
01:27accurate comparison.
01:27I don't hate quite as many things as her, but it comes close, you know, so I feel like
01:32I have a kinship with her of like dry humor and like side eyes, so I was like, let me go
01:37see this.
01:38Let me support her.
01:39It's more of like an indie movie, so I was like, they probably need the views, the ticket
01:44sales.
01:45So she's in it, and Elizabeth Olsen is in it.
01:50O'Shea Jackson is in it.
01:52He's so cute.
01:53I didn't even know about him, but now I'm a huge fan.
01:56He was great in this movie.
01:58So basically, the movie starts off with Aubrey Plaza, and she has been stalking this chick
02:07on social media, and the chick is getting married.
02:09So she runs into this girl's wedding and like screams at her and is like, how could you
02:15not invite me to this wedding, blah, blah, blah, and basically has to go to rehab because
02:20she has a problem.
02:23She is basically addicted to social media and can't stop stalking people.
02:31This girl's on her phone like 24 hours a day, and it kind of scares me because it reminded
02:37me of me when I was watching some of this.
02:40I was like, oh my god, I do that.
02:41I was like, am I the only person who watches videos while I'm sitting on the toilet?
02:46I don't think so.
02:48And she did that, and I was like, oh my god, maybe I have a problem.
02:50So she starts stalking Elizabeth Olsen, moves to Venice, California, where Elizabeth Olsen's
02:58and her husband live.
03:00O'Shea Jackson is her landlord.
03:03So she's like his neighbor and she's paying him rent.
03:07And so she goes and steals Elizabeth Olsen's dog just so that when they put out a flyer
03:16about the dog, she has a reason to call and be like, hey, I found your dog.
03:21And then from there, she like forces her way into a friendship with this chick.
03:27And Elizabeth Olsen's character is kind of social media famous.
03:31She has like 200,000 followers.
03:34So she's like all about sharing her life.
03:37And Ingrid, Aubrey Plaza's character, is like so obsessed with her.
03:41Ingrid has a problem to the point where she like starts taking advantage of O'Shea Jackson's
03:47niceness and like steals his or takes his truck and then like doesn't return it when
03:54he needs it to be returned so she can hang out with Elizabeth Olsen and like everything
04:00just escalates basically.
04:02She starts being creepier and creepier.
04:04So basically what she wants is just like this girl who she found on social media to be
04:11her best friend and only pay attention to her all the time.
04:15I won't tell you the ending but it was a pretty dramatic ending.
04:19And it's sad from like both points of view because she has a, like it's clear that she's
04:23not just like some random person liking too many things and being creepy.
04:29She has a compulsive obsession with people.
04:33She like fully transforms herself.
04:35She dyes her hair blonde to look like Elizabeth Olsen.
04:38She changes her whole style.
04:40She'll like go through every photo and see like where she is and go to that place and
04:46like eat what she ate.
04:47And then she'll see like something that she bought and then she'll go and like buy that
04:51exact thing so that she can have, she can be as close to that person's lifestyle as possible.
04:58O'Shea Jackson was like honestly the saving grace of that movie.
05:01And he's the most caring person, like when Ingrid doesn't return to his car he calls the police
05:06not because of the car but because he's worried about Ingrid.
05:09And I was like the whole movie I was like she does not deserve him.
05:14Where is he?
05:15Like let me, I will be good to you.
05:17I'll return your truck on time.
05:19Ugh.
05:21So frustrating but anyways he's like the reason she made it through the movie.
05:27So I guess it's fine, I guess it's only a movie, I guess I should stop freaking out.
05:31I have been scrunching this whole time as you saw, I learned a new scrunching method for
05:36those of you who are interested.
05:38What you do is you scrunch up and then instead of going down and scrunching back up you scrunch
05:44in place because it lessens the frizz.
05:49Instead of going like that if you just scrunch in place it gets more of the moisture out and
05:53less frizz.
05:54You're welcome.
05:55So now I'm going to clip my roots.
05:56Okay so I clipped my roots up, I let my hair air dry for about an hour and now I'm just
06:00going to diffuse the rest of it to get it all the way dry.
06:04For those of you who are asking, this is called a diva fuser, it's real.
06:08It's not something we added in post, somebody in the comments said that, no it's real.
06:15Okay so I just finished diffusing my hair, I'm really liking the results I got this time,
06:20some nice defined waves you know.
06:23I'm going to give Ingrid Goes West 3.5 stars out of 5.
06:27It was entertaining, not the best movie I've ever seen, but definitely an interesting look
06:31at how social media can affect our lives.
06:34You should go watch it whenever it comes out on Netflix or wherever it decides to come out.
