Reel Critic: “I Saw the TV Glow”
“I Saw the TV Glow” is the second film from Jane Schoenbrun after their 2021 debut, “We’re All Going to the World’s Fair.” The new A24 film, which is slated for release on May 3, follows two teenagers named Maddy and Owen who bond over a midnight TV show called “The Pink Opaque.” After Maddy mysteriously disappears, reality starts to crack as we follow Owen’s descent into hysteria. The genre-bending film offers a deeper commentary on loneliness and gender, but it is nevertheless a puzzle in itself.
