    Feature: Larry Talks To ‘I Saw The TV Glow’ Director Jane Schoenbrun & Actor Justice Smith
    May 3 2024

    “I Saw The TV Glow,” the new film by second-time director Jane Schoenbrun, is a story they consider their most personal. The story follows the character Owen, over multiple decades of their own life, re-visiting their identity through the help of an old friend named Maddy. The film brings together elements of childhood nostalgia and horror in this fictional story of one kid who feels different from everyone else in this small town.

    Today on FilmWeek, Larry sits down with the film's lead actor, Justice Smith, and its director Jane Schoenbrun, getting into the film’s exploration of identity and dysphoria.

    ‘I Saw The TV Glow’ is now in theaters, check your local listings.

Great movie reviews. Like the L.A. perspective.

Great movie reviews but I wish it was a tad less on the professorial side, and a little more everyday Joe-type movie reviews.
