I SAW THE TV GLOW
Following up their quietly hypnotic debut WE’RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD’S FAIR, director Jane Schoenbrun ups the ante in this allegorical tale of the transgender experience in which a favorite TV show changes two teens’ lives and leads them to question the nature of their reality and identities. Drawn together by the late-night young adult show THE PINK OPAQUE, Owen (Justice Smith) and Maddy (Jack Haven) escape from the alienation of school and family life, with Maddy telling Owen that the show feels more real to them than real life itself — a feeling that later turns into an outright belief that threatens to bury Owen alive with it.
