I watched "I saw the TV Glow" not knowing anything about the film. For the first 30 minutes or so I didn't think much of it other than it had an amazing soundtrack, and it had a clearly unusual and twisted nostalgic "90s kid" feeling to it. But it soon changed into a dark emotional rollercoaster. I'm honestly still quite shocked at how profound and raw the emotion invoked from this film is. For some, I saw The TV Glow will open your mind, tear it apart and throw it back in your face, leaving you completely emotionally defenseless; for others who cannot connect, you may just think it's "weird". If you can relate however, it will likely change you.
