Ingrid Thorburn (Plaza), a mentally disturbed young woman, becomes obsessed with Taylor Sloane (Olsen), a social media star who appears to have the perfect life. But when Ingrid decides to drop everything and move west to befriend Taylor, her behavior turns unsettling and increasingly dangerous

This looks...surprisingly watchable.

Hopefully the movie has a good sense of dread.

After Legion I'm totally down for more of Aubrey Plaza being fucking creepy

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Aubrey Plaza?

I'm there.

 

[jon bones]

so in for this

 

[Not]

So basically the Selena story, but fictionalized

 

[jack_package_200]

Whats the Selena story?

 

[El Topo]

Whats the Selena story?

It's basically the Ingrid Goes West story, but real.

 

[wenis]

that looks stupendous. I'm glad Plaza got out of that weird sexpot/R-rated comedy wheel she was in for a year. and O'Shea jackson again!

 

[zulux21]

After Legion I'm totally down for more of Aubrey Plaza being fucking creepy

I was going to say same... but then I watched the trailer.

I'm out.
didn't seem interesting at all, and I dislike social media stuff in general.
was hoping that it would be interesting despite my social media dislike but alas, this is not for me.

Neon finally released an honest looking trailer for this.

Living in Austin we see their shit attached to everything at Alamo since Tim League owns both and they have been marketing this as a plucky comedy that implies Aubrey Plaza is an old buddy out to save her friend who became a vapid Instagram celebrity in California.

They did the same thing with Colossal as well.

They distribute really good movies, I'm hoping this is a turn for not marketing dark indie dramadies as plucky fun times.

 

[Palmer_v1]

Whats the Selena story?

Mexican-American pop star who was murdered.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selena

It was a big deal.

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

I was pretty much in for Aubrey Plaza and then that last line had me laughing.

She does creepy real well and twisted freaky sexy shit is my bag so welp looks like i'm gonna see this. Really need to watch Legion...

See I love that shit. Imagine viewing stuff like this thinking it was a broad comedy and being blindsided in the cinema.

 

[Random Human]

This sounds like a more self-aware version of that bizarre Sandra Bullock/Bradley Cooper movie.

It's not a lot of fun when a close friend of yours Colossal:

Spoiler

who just got out of a domestic abuse situation is in the theater with you watching a funny movie about a lady who can control a monster and then the entire thing is about alcoholism and domestic abuse and they have a total melt down panic attack halfway through the movie

I'm not saying it's not a cool situation for people like you and I who don't have issues being surprised by disturbing stuff... but there are people who try and avoid super dark shit or at least want to have an idea of what they are in for going in.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Yes. Yes. I'm there.

Pls stalk me on social media Aubrey bae

 

[Lambtron]

that looks stupendous. I'm glad Plaza got out of that weird sexpot/R-rated comedy wheel she was in for a year. and O'Shea jackson again!

The To-Do List ruled!

I'm totally here for this.

 

[Beardz]

mentally disturbed young woman

Another day on her life then.

 

[Captain Skeleton]

Really looking forward to this. The Trailer had style.

 

[chalkitdown1]

Looks good but I feel like I've seen half the movie after watching that trailer.

 

[CloudWolf]

The trailer of this looks almost exactly like the first episode of the third season of Black Mirror. Could be good though.

 

[jack_package_200]

Considering most movie trailers give away most of the movie, thats kind of a vast improvement tbh

This myth has been debunked a thousand times over.

 

[FlowersisBritish]

Ive never been so sold on an idea and then so unsold by a trailer. Maybe its the visual style or the stalkee, but i just don't like the look if the trailer.

 

[Citizen Mane]

Elizabeth Olsen was so good in Martha Marcy May Marlene but hasn't really been in anything worthwhile since then, it's kind of sad. Wind River should at least be decent.

Big fan of trigger warnings then.

 

[jwk94]

I'm glad to see Cooper from Black Mirror is getting more work. Definitely seeing this.

The trailer of this looks almost exactly like the first episode of the third season of Black Mirror. Could be good though.

The only similarity is that both have a social media network...

 

[zeemumu]

This myth has been debunked a thousand times over.

It's more that a lot of film trailers nowadays tend to put their most exciting moments in the trailer to get butts in the seat. Sometimes that also involves giving away major spoilers, like the Connor-bot in Terminator Genisys, or putting most of the dinobot scenes in Transformers 4's trailer and all over the posters even though they have maybe a few minutes of actual screentime, or the poster to Pompeii being the ending of the film, or the poster of The Apparition being the ending of the film, or the poster of Quarantine being the ending of the film, or the ending of Paranormal Activity 1 being the main focus of every trailer for Paranormal Activity 1 because that's one of two times anything remotely trailer-worthy happens, or the very clear indicator of Gwen Stacy's death in Amazing Spider-Man 2's trailer.

Probably happens less than people believe it does but it does happen from time to time so I can't really agree that trailer spoilers are a myth.

i mean, you got a point, but pompeii is pompeii lol

 

[zeemumu]

i mean, you got a point, but pompeii is pompeii lol

True, but you can go even further back with actually good films like E.T. and the original King Kong.

I think it's more prevalent for horror though because the people who make the trailers like to put the jumpscares in the trailers to make them more exciting but ruin those scares (and spoil some deaths) by doing so.

 

[Alphahawk]

This seems like Aubrey Plaza the movie.

Sold.

 

[Strike]

Saw this trailer earlier. Her and Best Olsen seem like a good time. Can't go wrong with that.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Big fan of trigger warnings then.

Stuff like that is exactly why trigger-warnings are good. Most people with trauma live knowing that triggers exist all around them, and having to keep it together 24/7 can be mentally exhausting. So people keep their guard up as much as they can, but when they go home to read the web, or watch a movie, they let their guard down so they can be normal for a bit. If something hits them when their guard is down, it can trigger all sorts of stuff.

Should have called it #swf.

First farce, then tragedy

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

Aubrey Plaza has been really impressive the last year or so. She's incredible in Legion.

 

[cr0w]

Fucking love Aubrey Plaza. Her and Olsen Prime (not my term) = day one.

 

[Desperado]

Big fan of trigger warnings then.

There have been two movies in the past few years that I was shown by friends without being told they would be about serious issues that are very personal to me. I had significant physiological and psychological responses in both cases. If I had been warned I could have either chosen to not watch the movie or prepared myself instead of being blindsided.

 

[Samuraicop]

You had me at Aubrey Plaza ill be there

 

[Gobias]

The movies is okay, but I feel like it fell short in being as dark as it should have been. Aubrey is pretty good in it though and O'Shea Jackson is great.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Aubrey has always been bae so I'm in.

 

[Dereck]

Would you just take a look at this fucking poster.

 

[Alphahawk]

Would you just take a look at this fucking poster.

It may be a tad obvious but "She'll follow you" is such a great tagline.

 

[LotusHD]

You had me at Aubrey Plaza ill be there

.

 

[Cowlick]

Would you just take a look at this fucking poster.

Also starring Kristen Bell and Ice Cube, apparently.

 

[poppedcollar69]

huh... that blurb in the op. so she's literally a crazy person? i don't get it. where can the movie possibly go? i mean it doesn't really look like it's gonna be into a psychological thriller.... but maybe it is?

 

[Gobias]

It looks like him because he's his son

huh... that blurb in the op. so she's literally a crazy person? i don't get it. where can the movie possibly go? i mean it doesn't really look like it's gonna be into a psychological thriller.... but maybe it is?

It's a dark comedy with some real moments of tension and unease.

You're gonna have to read what I was replying to again.

"Most trailers give away most of the movie." Regardless of how you feel about trailers "spoiling" a big scene or two, that is actually not true. Myth.

A 2 minute trailer (hell, 3 2 minute trailers) vs. a movie that's 90 minutes long on average…you do the math.

I can't tell you how often people leave movies going "hey, there were still a few surprises kept out of the trailer, even if I predicted the general throughline of the plot".

It's not about math. It's about whether or not all the general plot points are revealed.

Terminator genysys is a great example. Half of the film seems built on a twist that you already know from the trailer. So all the suspense and audience mystery is taken away. Are there a lot of bits in between? Sure. But some people value that mystery as part of their experience and they are the ones that complain

I know this because I also complain . Can't even watch tv previews for serialized shows anymore

 

[sora87]

I'm deeply in love with Aubrey Plaza so I'll watch anything she's in haha
