Zusammenfassung

Reviewers say 'We're All Going to the World's Fair' delves into teenage isolation, mental health, and internet influence. The film is lauded for its slow-burn narrative, unique horror aspects, and deep character exploration. Anna Cobb's performance as Casey and the atmospheric cinematography receive high praise. However, some critics find the plot and horror elements lacking, resulting in mixed reactions. The film's marketing as a horror movie is debated, with some feeling it misrepresents the film's actual focus.

Dark side of YouTube

The inspiration from the "weird" corner of YouTube is present from the first scene and remains throughout the entire movie, intercepted only by the short glimpses into the depressing lives of content creators.

How far would you go for the attention of your viewers? In which ways does this attention harm young and volatile? What poses a more serious threat - creepy guys watching you online or your own loneliness that pushed you into this mess?

While on a certain level, it does manage to successfully illustrate the vulnerability and mental health issues in teens, it completely fails as a horror movie.

The part of the problem is that it brings nothing new into YouTube horror lore. The final result completely relies on the overused tropes of YouTube's "dark" corner.

It would've worked better as drama about the mental health risks in teens oversharing on social media, but that would require much more serious exploration of the broader context.

Worst Movie I've Ever Seen In My Life

This is by far the worst movie I've ever watched in my life. I literally created this account just to express that. What looked like a promising preview, ultimately left us with disappointment, confusion and regret for family movie night. Whoever wrote, directed and acted in this movie should be forever banned from ever creating anything within the film industry. It's time to retire. It's time for a new career. And it's time we ban this movie from ever being broadcasted on any streaming network. I wish there were negative stars to give because Jesus Christ. The people giving positive reviews have no idea what is going on. They think there are metaphors but there are not. This film is simply just horrible. Please don't ever create anything ever again or so help me God I will find a way to sue for wasted time.

This was not it. Boring, plain and simple

I like indie movies, even slow ones at that. However, this was boring, nothing interesting happened, these long takes of walking and empty space fill the movie up to feature-length time. As a 20-minute short, sure, interesting. This was the longest 1.5 hours of my life. I love weird eerie movies, but this movie mistakes strangeness and emptiness as an introspection into internet culture. Alex G's score is the only reason I give it any stars. I don't understand the positive critical reviews. I've read them, and they are plain wrong, please take my word for it.

Dull and Devoid of Meaning

While I appreciate this film as a character study, through behavior rather than dialogue, that evokes idiosyncratic emotion, I could not be more disappointed with practically every other aspect. The movie was slapstick, cheaply shot, purposeless, and overall a waste of an hour and 25 minutes. There's an adage that if a gun is introduced in one act, it should be used in the following otherwise don't put it there. This movie did the exact opposite. Very dull on top of being dreadfully slow with nearly zero payoff.

little eery but not much happens

I can appreciate the work that has gone into making the movie and production wise i'd say it's a good movie for being a low budget film, but it's definitely not my cup of tea.

It was very slow and I expected more from it. A lot of scenes took forever, like the moment when we're watching ASMR for about 3 minutes. Don't know I feel about that one either, if it's a brilliant choice for a horror movie or not. It is probably the only original thing in the movie I'd say.

IDK, it get points for trying and some people might like/love the movie, I just didn't.

In a 2022 interview with Filmmaker Magazine, Jane Schoenbrun spoke about the origins of the New Year's Eve scene: "I filmed that on a camcorder. I made my partner drive with me upstate, and we spent New Year's bumming around Saugerties quietly, mapping out the path and figuring out exactly how to time it so that I could start filming at 11:57 and hit the center of town right as the countdown actually began. It really was this 'You get one shot' sort of deal. I had gone to an Airbnb up in Saugerties over New Year's a couple years earlier. I was sick as a dog, spent that entire weekend lying around feeling terrible and didn't leave this Airbnb for three days except at midnight. I staggered out, went to the town and saw this very charming, small-town version of the Times Square ball drop. After I saw that, I was like, 'I need to work that into a movie someday.' The idea that Casey would be there filming was one of the early ideas for this film. The loneliness of being in a crowd of people and feeling like you can say whatever you want because no one is listening, or is even aware you're there, is a big part of that scene. Also, so many of the kids hanging around half a block away from the center of that party we were filming WERE Casey. It was like, 'Oh yeah, there are Caseys EVERYWHERE in towns like this.'"
