Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJust like the rest of the film, The Pink Opaque segments that appear throughout the film were also shot in 35mm, but later transferred to both VHS and Betamax in post-production to create the show's different period-specific degradations.
- GoofsIn the voting machine, the ballot shows the familiar names of candidates in the 1996 U.S. Presidential Election ("Bill Clinton / Al Gore"), but ballots for major elections have the full names of those running. The candidates should be listed as William J. Clinton, Albert A. Gore, Robert J. Dole, etc.
- Quotes
Maddy: Time wasn't right. It was moving too fast. And then I was 19. And then I was 20. I felt like one of those dolls asleep in the supermarket. Stuffed. And then I was 21. Like chapters skipped over on a DVD. I told myself, "This isn't normal. This isn't normal. This isn't how life is supposed to feel."

Featured review
I had recently watched this director's We're All Going to the World's Fair simply because when reading about I Saw the TV Glow people kept bringing it up. Well, I didn't understand barely a thing about that earlier kind of creepy film that contains one startling scene, but it did show us a truly honest and impressive performance from Anna Cobb. We have a similar situation here. The lead, Justice Smith, gives, much like Cobb, a truly honest and open performance. The director, Jane Schoenbrun truly has a talent for getting impressively realistic performances from young actors. There are others in this that are fine as well. Schoenbrun clearly has a talent and a knack for presenting things in vivid and unusual ways, but much like the World's Fair, what exactly are either of these films about? This one was more interesting than the other, despite the strange musical interlude, and it kept me interested, but this is surely not for everyone.
