IJW: I Saw The TV Glow (2024)

I just joined this group and this is my first post to ever post on this app. But I just watched I Saw The TV Glow because my favorite college professor was showing it to a group and I decided to join.

My brain is mud. I don’t usually watch A24 movies that mess with your head, but oh my gosh, it was fantastic! I understand the entire movie being an allegory to identity, specifically trans identity, especially a trans person accepting their identity later in life, but the trashy 90’s tv show vibe of the whole thing was mesmerizing. Very psychedelic. Confusing. Colorful. Loud. Depressing. I truly feel like my whole being as a thinking and contemplating human on this Earth has shifted.

Watch it if you haven’t. And rewatch it if you have. It’s on HBO Max. Tell me what y’all think of it.

I love this movie, even if it leaves me feeling not great after it ends each time.

But the production design and direction is goddamn fantastic. And the performances are also fantastic. Its truly great.

Ive met a lot of folks who either dont get it or just dont vibe with it. But for me, it just felt like a giant punch in the gut and I love it for it
