I saw Guillermo Del Toro say that Aubrey Plaza’s performance in Ingrid Goes West was the best performance of the year. It was a tweet in reply to an article that stated in a just world Aburey Plaza would win an Oscar for her performance there. I can’t comment on the best of the year because I just haven’t watched enough from 2017 yet but I am inclined to agree it was fantastic. Ingrid Goes West was a hard movie. It was a black comedy that was heavy on the discomfort and the magic in the performance here from Aubrey Plaza was that she was very uncomfortable to watch, inhumanly awkward and yet at the same time you felt for her. The sadness and loneliness and the mental illness at the core of everything she did, well, it was amazing how human the performance could feel with someone acting anything but human. It was good and she was great. But then she often is in things but Black Comedies aren’t usually Oscar bait movies so we’ll see. I liked it though and it was a reminder that I haven’t posted her in some time. So I am rectifying that. Today I want to fuck Aubrey Plaza.
