Two teenagers share their love for a horror TV series, but it is mysteriously cancelled.
Jane Schoenbrun surprises again with an author's look without limiting herself to anything to tell her film in her own way and her most real feelings, where she creates a film in which you may feel strange or also very identified, it is a film of feelings.

We are facing a Queer horror film that is built slowly and meticulously where your ability to be willing to fully receive the proposal of its director is what will define your mood when watching the proposal they are giving us.
It is not an easy film to digest, but at the same time it is a film that keeps you connected at all times, the intelligence of a director who knows how to cause an effect on you as a viewer just as it happens with her characters with the series that surrounds the whole plot.
It is strange in all its development, it is also strange in all its mystery, but at the same time it is quite terrifying throughout.
A psychological terror that approaches with determination a plot that is complex to understand, but that enters fully into the madness and the transition where every second that passes invites the necessary reflection to understand the circumstances and the real reason that confronts its two characters.
It is a proposal in which you must be willing to accept all its visual commitment being that it is an ambitious and compelling feature film that is made to be dissected that deepens emotions about discovering yourself in an absolutely larger scale than what we can be used to within a genre that invites to have proposals without concealment.
The truth is that we have an interesting film, not entirely satisfactory. A director who once again demonstrates that she has cinematic talent within her veins and that is the greatest success of I Saw the TV Glow.
I've been highly anticipating watching this one but haven't gotten to it yet. I really ended up liking "We're All Going To The Worlds Fair" which is from the same director even though I was on the verge of turning it off halfway through. I'm glad that I stuck to it as I ended up highly enjoying if for what it was as it captured internet culture unline any other movie. So my expectations are probably too high for I Saw The Tv Glow.
I'm sure I will get around finally watching it this year
