I Saw The TV Glow and We're All Going To The World's Fair are love letters to lonely suburban kids who grew up online
“This isn’t the Midnight Realm, Maddy . It’s just the suburbs.” I didn’t watch We’re All Going To The World’s Fair—I felt it. It was as though my body had been rendered almost completely inert. Meanwhile, my brain crashed backwards through decades, homes, and therapists to land in the center of my childhood bed, eyes prickling from hours of staring at a screen during that otherworldly part of night when the birds don’t sing and time feels like water.
Casey never defines their own gender, for example, until JLB assigns them female pronouns at the end of the film—another example of why his intrusion feels so violent. Still, while as a cisgender person I’ve never experienced this particular type of pain, Schoenbrun’s internet was also mine. As a closeted and anxious kid growing up in the suburbs, I also learned a lot more about myself within that “glowing light” than I did at school or with my IRL friends.
