Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show — a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the television, Owen’s view of reality begins to crack.

I Saw the TV Glow is claustrophobic, unwholesome and brilliant.

Visceral and intensely moving, this film feels like something you’d stumble across on TV in the small hours and never forget. It might herald a new era for queer cinema.

I Saw the TV Glow is as much a mood as it is a movie, but unlike the filmmaker’s previous work We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, this particular methodology has graduated from bug to feature.

I Saw The TV Glow is a remarkable portrait of pop-culture obsession—how it can unite us, change us, and ripple down through our entire lives in ways both uplifting and unsettling.
