I Saw the TV Glow (2024)
In late-90s suburbia, a lonely teenager meets a girl at school who introduces him to a mysterious late-night T.V. show — a vision of a supernatural world pulsing beneath their own. As time goes on, however, questions begin to arise about why the show sometimes seems more real than their own lives. In the pale glow of the television, their view of reality begins to crack.
🏳️🌈 Jane Schoenbrun's brilliant psychological horror masterpiece tracks two teenage misfits bonded by a canceled TV show, masterfully serving as a profound queer and trans identity allegory.
