"I Saw the TV Glow" isn't your typical popcorn flick. It's more like digging through a box of old VHS tapes in your attic.
The film is beautifully shot, even with that whole lo-fi aesthetic. There's a real sense of nostalgia for that pre-internet era, where your imagination had to fill in the blanks. The acting is strong too, especially from the two leads. They capture that awkwardness and confusion of being a teenager perfectly.
Now, here's the thing: "I Saw the TV Glow" isn't for everyone. It's slow-burning, and some folks might find it boring. It's also pretty ambiguous, so don't expect everything to be spelled out for you. But if you're looking for something different, something that will stay with you long after the credits roll, then give this a shot.
