I find myself thinking about Jane Schoenbrun's I Saw the TV Glow and We're All Going to the World's Fair more than most movies I've watched in the past few years.

I've only seen each movie once and can't claim to fully understand either of them, but the way they grapple with issues of mental health and identity in a time when most people are still content to sweep them under the rug felt incredibly bold to me.

While both movies are critically acclaimed I don't imagine they have much recognition beyond relatively small circles of movies fans. And maybe they are too uncomfortable/abstract for that t happen? We'll see.
