Trivia
Bill Murray is listed in the Very Special Thanks section of the credits. In the commentary, Aubrey Plaza says that while she and Murray were filming A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III (2012), he gave her his dark blue sweater when she became ill. She wears it in the bank scene and the tropical restaurant scene.

Goofs
In the opening credit sequence whenever a teary-eyed Ingrid frantically "likes" Charlotte's Instagram posts, her username is added to the displayed list of other users who've like the posts as well. Her username pops-up and is shown as "Ingridgoeswest." At this early on in the film, however, Ingrid has not yet created this account and username.

Quotes
Ingrid Thorburn: Fuck me, Bruce. Gotham needs you.

Brutal and uncomfortable

Dark comedy with Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen? Sign me in.

But what I got, was definitely not a comedy. There are some laughs in this film, but mostly it's a heavy drama about unbalanced, desperate people. And a very well made one.

'Ingrid Goes West' is so real, so brutal, that it makes the audience uncomfortable, but you still can't look away. This is what the world of social media is when taken to extreme. It's reality for thousands of people, if not for millions.

Sad, yet important and powerful, look at our society today.
