"I SAW THE TV GLOW is an earnest personal statement wrapped in a surreal art-horror movie, a labor of love whose originality and astonishing beauty establish writer-director Jane Schoenbrun as a major cinematic talent." (--- Katie Rife, IGN (2024))

"I SAW THE TV GLOW is a rare and magical film. It is a passionate, terrifying, physical manifestation of a movie. It reaches inside your imagination and stirs it around, making new connections between familiar concepts. It's not just great, it's fascinating and revelatory. The only rational response to a movie like this is to make a huge fuss about it. They come along so rarely." (--- William Bibbiani, The Wrap)

"Eager to give queer people another (and more expensive) nod from the big screen, Jane Schoenbrun responds to their indie success "We're All Going to the World's Fair" with a one-of-a kind cinematic experience. In this oddly nostalgic, magenta-tinted exploration of queer dread, teenagers Owen and Maddy form a bond through shared solace in a horror television show called The Pink Opaque, where they give themselves away to fictional characters with a cosmic connection who fight the big and bad Mr. Melancholy. Removing themselves from suburbia's oppressive familiarity, self-denial descends into musical phantasmagoria. A commissioned soundtrack weaves unapologetic queerness through their loss of selves and establishes a broodingly digitized cinematic language entirely unique to Schoenbrun. Fanatical media consumption – no social interaction required – gives way for community, a currency more relevant than ever in a hyper-online society. But the characters' journeys reveal the stickiness of shared escapism and how that looks like human connection but turns out to be pretty empty. It's a vibrating embrace to queer kids who didn't live their truth early enough and a cautionary tale for everyone who allows electronic spaces to take up physical space. I SAW THE TV GLOW dares viewers to live their truth, because if they don't, their personhood may disappear entirely." (--- Selena Calacat, Seattle International Film Festival 2024)
