The opening credits are probably my favorite in all of film, growing up in the Midwest, I just get filled with nostalgia. One of the only films that I know of that truly captures the pain and dread of feeling alone on the internet. Despite the vast amount of people there are to interact with or make friends with, somehow you still feel alone. I feel like this movie just took all of my emotions and put them onto a screen. Probably the best portrayal of how mentally unstable social media and the internet can cause you to be become, even if you are careful or use it sparsely. Also shows how easy it is to fall into a downward spiral, due to the sheer amount of content there is and how easy it is to access it. Without a doubt the film that has connected with me the most, Jane Schoenbrun is able to do something to me with their films that no other directors have been able to. They really understand how dreadful and sometimes just full on depressing it can be just to exist in this world and this generation. Sometimes I feel like my mind and soul is just constantly being suppressed and I’m preventing myself from being who I am. I love this movie so much, really glad I decided to rewatch it tonight. If you leave this film learning one thing, let it be that there is hope, there is hope for everyone no matter how hard everything may be everyday, just know that it’s never over, there is still time to live and be alive. I don’t really know how to explain it, but while this fills me with dread and sadness, it also fills me with hope and clarity. In my opinion this is the definition of art. I know I’ve already said this, but thank you Jane, really thank you, I would not be the person I am today without your films, they are always able to keep me going and instantly make me feel better. I hope some of this made sense and I hope that others are able to connect with this the way that I did.

This actually really charmed me!!! But Unfortunately, I feel like I might be in a minority here because I've only really heard a lot of hate about this film.

This film doesn't really present any horrific scenes or visuals but instead essentially represents the horrors of being isolation and being constantly online. And to be honest, I think that this film handled and presented this so perfectlyyy!!!

whoever’s watching this must be a little bit of a lonely person.

this film has haunted me since i watched it. it made me feel nostalgic from my own experiences of experiencing the internet all by myself. how scary it was to be a kid during this time, access to everything on the palm of my hand. the internet is so lonely. i feel like the eyes watching you makes it even lonelier. we just want to be part of something. anything.

what i didn’t understand made me not appreciate this film the first time i watched it. it has its imperfections, it might’ve lingered on something for too long, but for some reason it’s the perfect film to put on at night when you’re doing something else, wanting to sleep don’t want to. jane schoenbrun is amazing. anna cobb makes me want to sob with how perfectly she embodies this character. 

part of why i wanted to rewatch this was that i’m seeing i saw the tv glow in a couple of days, in a theatre, with my best friend. but i feel like schoenbrun’s films were made to be seen in your room, in your bed, using your laptop. knowing that schoenbrun intended her first three major works (with the book called public access afterworld!) to be the ‘screen trilogy’ i just became more excited for what’s to come. schoenbrun is someone to look out for, from their debut to what i feel i saw the tv glow would be, their filmography is just going to get even better.
