Reviews
Honestly? Not that good. Like I got the underlying metaphor of Owen being trans and that was cool, but there really wasn't that much substance to the film other than that. > I'll die if I stay here. I don't know how exactly, but I know it's true. Maybe there is more substance to it and I didn't realise because I was tired when I watched it. I don't know. I think I just expected more horror
I was hoping this was a Helloween 3 remake. Way too much filler. Who needs to see bands performing? Monologues... It's deep but I wasn't buying. Hellish ending. Really cool shots. Creepy shots. Well shot.
Told using a verity of storytelling techniques, this is a curious film that certainly has a potent point to make but somehow it just can't get there.

I was disappointed in the flow of the story in 'I Saw The TV Glow'. Despite this, the melancholy feel of the film is beautifully conveyed throughout, enhancing its themes effectively. The visuals are stunning, and the combination of top-tier editing and visual effects elevates the cinematography to an exceptional level. The film’s melancholic atmosphere is one of its strongest points. This perv
After watching this piece of incoherent, unfocused rubbish, I would have much rather watched the TV glow instead. Writer-director Jane Schoenbrun’s incomprehensible smart horror offering is an absolute utter waste of time, not to mention the ticket price. This glacially paced story of two psychologically and emotionally troubled teens, Owen (Ian Forema) and Maddy (Brigitte Lundy-Paine), who bond o
