Some films don't get the attention they should, at first — but eventually, they get the attention they deserve. Martin Scorsese, who is not only an incomparable filmmaker but an important film historian and advocate, recently shouted out a movie that had a humble theatrical run: I Saw the TV Glow, a genre-bending and gender-bending fantasy from trans auteur Jane Schoenbrun. Their film left some critics scratching their heads, but Scorsese has correctly identified it as a production of enormous power and beauty.

I Saw the TV Glow tells the story of lonely teens whose obsession with a creepy kids' show begins to affect their perception of reality. Its reflection on the double-edged sword of extreme fandom and the ambivalent experience of self-discovery for queer youth has attracted fans who feel deeply seen by Schoenbrun's unique vision. However, as Martin Scorsese has proven, you don't need to be a member of...

Thanks to films like Civil War, MaXXXine, Love Lies Bleeding, and the recently released horror hit Heretic, its been a big year for A24, the indie distributor thats long been known to deliver some of the finest movies around. Now, after winning a total of 18 Oscars earlier this year, they can add another accolade to their growing list, as renowned director Martin Scorsese recently had some high praise for director Jane Schoenbruns I Saw the TV Glow.

Released back in May, Scorsese had nothing but good things to say of the movie in an interview with The Canadian Press, calling it "emotionally and psychologically powerful." Starring Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine, I Saw the TV Glow tells the tale of two friends who bond over their favorite show, The Pink Opaque. Its a beautiful coming-of-age drama mixed with psychological horror that deals with themes of dysmorphia, transgender identity, and the...

I Saw the TV Glow challenges us to question society's reliance on fiction as a coping mechanism for reality. Through the tulpa concept, the film explores the dangers of blurring fantasy and reality in media consumption. Mental illness and isolation play a key role in the characters' descent into delusion and dangerous behavior.

A24 has added to its litany of mind-bending, psychological horror films with director Jane Schoenbrun's I Saw the TV Glow. Schoenbrun is a filmmaker who has been committed to exploring society's relationship with media, especially when taken to the extreme. In an interview with Filmmaker Magazine, they discuss this. "We find ways to insulate ourselves from reality, to live lives dependent on fictions personal fictions, historical fictions, societal fictions, religious fictions," Schoenbrun explains. "This is a coping mechanism I think, and... Theres a sadness and a darkness to this. But does that render life a tragedy?...

“I know how it’s going to end now. I’m going inside the video, through the computer, into the screen.” – Casey, We’re All Going to the World’s Fair.

“What if I really was someone else? Very far away on the other side of the television screen” – Maddy, I Saw the TV Glow.

A tulpa is a mystical concept that’s rooted in Tibetan Buddhism where an imaginary entity becomes real and gains sentience if enough people validate its existence and give it power. It’s an idea that runs rampant in horror, albeit typically with individuals and monsters, rather than planes of existence. Tulpas always involve fiction being brought into reality once they gain enough agency. Humanity has a natural curiosity and appetite for delusion, whether it’s something like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, or a more sinister idea like Slenderman. However, who’s to...

When Jane Schoenbrun was in high school, they spent hours devouring Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Schoenbrun watched Sarah Michelle Gellar play Buffy, who over the course of seven seasons, figures out who she really is — a powerful woman chosen to fight evil forces. And Schoenbrun imagined how they might fit into the show. They saw themselves in everyone, from the wacky pal Xander to the broody vampire Angel to Willow and Tara, a pair of witches in love — gender be damned.

“If you’d told me I could press a button and become a cool,...

I Saw the TV Glow.Jane Schoenbrun understands the cursed records of suburban memory. Their films—A Self-Induced Hallucination (2018), We’re All Going to the World’s Fair (2021), and now I Saw the TV Glow (2024)—construct imagined archives from cultural ephemera, like internet lore, YouTube videos, and television shows. These pieces of world-building distort the concept of the transition timeline—a series of images that tracks the effects of Hormone Replacement Therapy—by undercutting the sincerity of the so-called transition “journey” with displays of disappointment and dysphoria. Whether searching for information about ghosts, ghouls, or gender, Schoenbrun’s characters struggle to self-actualize. In I Saw the TV Glow (2024), the cul-de-sacs are covered in chalk hieroglyphs for a séance with the people we might have been. Around every corner lies a new monster of the week: longing, loneliness, horniness.Other artists have used imagined archives as a way to examine desire, projection, and gender.
