…New Trailer for Darkly Funny Thriller.

"NEON has released a new trailer for the upcoming dark comedy thriller Ingrid Goes West. The feature directorial debut of Matt Spicer stars Aubrey Plaza as a lonely, unstable young woman who, after fixating on "lifestyle guru" Taylor Soane's (Elizabeth Olsen) Instagram, models her social media life after Sloane's and moves to California to become her best friend.

I disagree, I think the dark humor could work well. I'll watch it when it netflix or HBO.
