If you're someone who has ever had an unreasonable attatchment to a piece of media. If you never felt like you were understood by society. If you've struggled with your identity (especially with gender). If you enjoy arthouse films and want something that will leave you thinking. Then this is a movie for you. The people who dislike it just aren't the taget audience, and that's okay.
Having seen the movie I can tell you the thing about this trailer is, while technically it shows some (not all) of the best images of the movie, seeing the actual film will give them context and narrative that I guarantee will blow you away. You will never guess how these images fit together. Very, very special Film. The top comment on this trailer bothers me every time I rewatch it, so just wanted to put in my two cents :)
A movie like this isn’t going to have its trailer spammed all over television so it has to do the best it can to draw someone in. I also got no sense of its narrative structure which is my biggest complaint with big budget trailers.
I'm not sure what to really think of the trailer. The saying I saw the tv glow, that had me thinking Poltergeist. Then when the two started talking about a show they watched as a kid. It makes me feel like they have been brain washed. I'm going to go watch it and if I don't like it, I blame YOU. Lol. Just kidding, if I don't like it, that's on me and my taste alone. I never let someone dictate what I might like and don't like. I wish you all the best and like the Terminator said, I'll be back. Lmao
@@herchellejacobs7458 the plot makes sense if you are willing to engage with the metaphorical elements of it. If you look at it as a metaphor for exploring queer identities, then the plot makes total sense. if you dont, then it is barely coherent (at least according to my boyfriend, who needed me to explain what was going on afterwards).
This movie was partially filmed in my little town of keansburg, New Jersey. I remember when they were filming this movie, everyone in town was excited, I understand why they wanted to use our little town. We have that boardwalk, that is a gem.... and our New York skyline views can not be beat.
@aramdosuzman if you go to any town around here... Keyport, union beach.old bridge, Sayreville or even the highlands.. we have the best view. Period, end of sentence!
i’ll be honest- i had high hopes for this movie and my expectations were met. i also don’t know how to explain the way this movie affected me. i’ve seen some ppl say that they started sobbing as soon as the credits began to roll, i’ve also seen some ppl say that it was just a “weird movie”. in my opinion, this movie most definitely shifted smth in me that i didn’t know could be shifted. i am not trans, but you don’t need to be to feel the euphoria, loneliness, nostalgia and emptiness that this movie presents. this isn’t a movie for everyone, but everyone who watches this movie will feel differently about it. and i think that’s what cinema has been missing nowadays- original and passionate stories. this movie is most certainly one of those rare gems.
Saw this at the Berlin Intl Film Festival with a Q&A from Jane Schoenbrun, it is quite unlike anything I've ever seen before and I saw that in the best way possible. Truly something special. That said, it is going to be incredibly divisive, people will either love it or hate it with no in-between. Also, little disheartning seeing so many comments prasing A24 and not Jane themselves, it's their movie! They worked incredibly hard on it and it is a very personal project, they deserve all the praise in the world.
Director has stated is about being transgender, but dont let that stop you from watching if you cant relate to that. its open ended enough to be more of a coming of age tale for you to resonate with. Pretty cool
@@GodsJanitor I prefer some nice colors and a little bit of roughness over the basic studio lighting and the clean digital look of other modern movies.
Knowing what this movie is fully about, I can expect a few folks to cry in the theater and some folks not know wtf they're even crying about. Looks beautiful.

@@glassedgavv9711 That's not wrong ... but the entire metaphor for LGBT identity in the film is the supernatural element. The protagonist's denial that the Goosebumps/Alex Mack/Pete and Pete stuff happening around them is real is the metaphor for someone not coming out
when i was a child me and my mother sat in the living room. a storm came by feirce wild and lightning. A power pole was stuck next to our place. next thing i know after the bang was a glowing ball of light emerge out of the T.V. looked almost white hot/ yellow+red. roughly the size of a yoga ball you sit on at the gym. It just hovered ~1-2 feet off the ground as it emerged from the T.V. towards us then vasished after 3-4 ft of movement from the T.V. That memory is burning into my mind. you should note the T.V. wasnt damaged from this it worked fine after.
That sounds incredible at the same time scary. Wish that was recorded or something. This is why sometimes i wish human beings were installed with a running video camera on them that can record everything they see and put it in video tape, send it to cloud, save it on TH-cam it something.
That's the coolest thing I've ever heard 😮 I was once hit by lightning indirectly when a severe storm was raging in the middle of the night. The transformer on our corner was hit by lightning and it exploded right as I reached over to turn off a metal drafting lamp. The surge traveled thru the wires, the lamp, and my hand and arm and whole body. It was pretty intense. Your story is much more fascinating tho. Some scientist could probably explain it, but...maybe not
It’s hilarious how people who didn’t pick up what this movie was laying down say that they did and that it wasn’t good. This is the kind of movie where either you can see yourself and your own struggles in it or you can’t. And if you can’t, just accept that you’re essentially colorblind here. You cannot perceive these hues. And that’s ok.
What struggles are involved? Are you saying that you have to fit into a certain archetype to enjoy this movie? I want to watch it and get something out of it but I’m seeing two very opposite reviews
I absolutely LOVED the uneasy yet satisfying feeling of We're All Going To The World's Fair. I'm so stoked for this movie, and I'm so excited to hear what Alex G brings, I can't get enough of his music.
This movie isn’t for everyone, but there is so much there that I recommend everyone watch it, just to see what it speaks to in you. Definitely more of an experience than a passive viewing, but if you really let yourself feel it, it’s probably gonna resonate.
@@Someoneudontknow120 I would describe it as a surreal coming of age movie. It follows the lead character Owen and his friend Maddie all through his adolescence and into his adulthood, specifically centering around a show they both love to watch, that seems so have some supernatural effect on them. That’s all I’ll say. It’s not all that actively scary, but it introduces ideas that haunt you well after it’s over, and it feels like you’re a different person by the time you’ve finished.
Agreed. There's a lot going in the film and you do really have to pay attention to fit it all together. For me, while certain elements didn't quite connect, it's presentation of adolescence loneliness and hard leaning on 90s young adult media definitely hit a button or two. Brought back more than a few memories, both good and bad.
Confirming (not a spoiler) that this is NOT about that one creepypasta 😆 It's a phenomenal movie that's worth seeing at the cinema for a full aural-visual-emotional experience! I enjoyed it much more than "World's Fair" and I think it'll definitely have that polarizing "love it" or "hate it" effect with audiences.
@JustinCage56 ~ It does have some really creepy moments, most of which are extremely affective. It isn't straight-forward, in-your-face horror in a demonic or psycho killer way, though... but, yeah, I wouldn't recommend it if disturbing/nightmarish imagery has a negative effect on you. 😕
@@JustinCage56 Imagine if David lynch made an episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark". That's the vibe this movie is going for. It's dark and surreal and unsettling. But it isn't about monsters jumping out at you
I was so torn after reading some of the 1 and 2 ratings on IMDB. But then I figured it was just something some people weren't going to get and that's exactly what it was. Seriously one of the best films I have seen in years. Loved just about everything about it and am going again tonight.
the cast is casting. I am so excited. This is such a cool idea too. Reminds me of the message "Little Nightmares 2" was trying to portray with the tv people. I love the soundtrack as well, and the colors. Just all around, looks like it'll be a great film. Definitely my most anticipated watch for a long time.
@@jellie-ig1hg yes!!! It's mostly Alex G behind the score which is so freaking cool, his music fits perfectly. But the other artists involved did such a great job! The band scenes were amazing to watch. I truly hope Alex composes the music for all future Schoenbrun films 💜
Pretty sure that's the actor from the recent video game "The Quarry." I loved this director's first horror film "We're All Going To The World's Fair" so I can't wait to see this!
Recuerdo la primera vez que vi este tráiler, lo que sentí. Fue como ver algo que siempre había querido ver, y al mismo tiempo, algo que siempre he soñado hacer. Tuve una obsesión con ver este tráiler, y cosas relacionadas a la película, revisando todos los días si anunciaban alguna fecha de estreno en cines para México. Esa fecha nunca llegó, pero si pude rentarla, y verla en la televisión. Esta película es más que solo una película para mí, fue como un espejo, como si me hiciera ver a través de mi alma. Tuve una conexión casi paranormal con esta película, porque me mostró demasiadas cosas que necesitaba saber, en el momento más que indicado. Las cosas no se sienten bien, pero van a mejorar, porque Todavía hay tiempo.
My review: This movie is heavy on symbolism. It has a really good message once you realise it, and it is displayed brilliantly. No doubt, the visuals are breathtaking as usual in an A24 film. I wonder if Owen ever got back to being Isabel, but I guess that's the point of the movie. Pretty pretty bittersweet.
I saw this while taking a plane to Germany and I was hooked- the loneliness of suburban life haunts the character and we see the space beyond is where they try to find refuge.
This movie is NOT for everyone. And many will not understand it, but the true message of the movie is existential horror of not being yourself. If you are interested in a similar movie, I HIGHLY RECCOMENED "Im thinking of ending things"
how can it possibly be a movie about not being yourself what its supposed to be a pro trans whatever movie, which means that its pro not being yourself by default? why every time a queer gets involved with something you ONLY hear the biggest contradictions imaginable? :p
@@Gnsd45 maybe you need to watch more queer movies? also the movie is not entirely about being trans a movie can have multiple messages and i don’t appreciate weirdos commenting
I saw it the other day and it is indeed very strange and hypnotic. I am still trying to figure it all out, what was real, what was not, etc. It left me feeling a bit sad and anxious. I would recommend seeing it, but it will be divisive. I have already heard some people say they got fed up with it and walked out because it is odd.

@@jayventura7387 It's Anthem for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl by Broken Social Scene, though it sounds like either a remix or cover for the film. Apparently the original is a motif throughout the film.
This movie is truly so shattering and original. Jane is easily one of my favorite directors after this.
it's truly the biggest piece of garbage in cinema history
@@OffTheCover So sorry you didn’t like this movie. I loved it. Found it profound and full of meaning. Can’t wait to rewatch.
@@OffTheCoveryou're a garbage
It's just a stolen Creepypasta. Don't get ahead of yourself
original? is a copy paste of a creepypasta with woke politics shoveled in
Oh thats such a cool concept, its like goosebumps a bit but on some outer world
That's what I thought as well! I can't wait for this.
It's actually an allegory and metaphor for queer self-denial, With Owen trying to escape from his reality, hiding from himself.
@@glassedgavv9711 That's not wrong ... but the entire metaphor for LGBT identity in the film is the supernatural element. The protagonist's denial that the Goosebumps/Alex Mack/Pete and Pete stuff happening around them is real is the metaphor for someone not coming out
when i was a child me and my mother sat in the living room. a storm came by feirce wild and lightning. A power pole was stuck next to our place. next thing i know after the bang was a glowing ball of light emerge out of the T.V. looked almost white hot/ yellow+red. roughly the size of a yoga ball you sit on at the gym. It just hovered ~1-2 feet off the ground as it emerged from the T.V. towards us then vasished after 3-4 ft of movement from the T.V. That memory is burning into my mind. you should note the T.V. wasnt damaged from this it worked fine after.
Sounds like something came through in the storm... electromagnetic entity using your tv as a medium?
Look up "Ball lightning" it sounds exactly like what you just described. It's a natural but unexplained phenomenon.
That sounds incredible at the same time scary. Wish that was recorded or something. This is why sometimes i wish human beings were installed with a running video camera on them that can record everything they see and put it in video tape, send it to cloud, save it on TH-cam it something.
@@heresheis2063DARPA is working on that
That's the coolest thing I've ever heard 😮 I was once hit by lightning indirectly when a severe storm was raging in the middle of the night. The transformer on our corner was hit by lightning and it exploded right as I reached over to turn off a metal drafting lamp. The surge traveled thru the wires, the lamp, and my hand and arm and whole body. It was pretty intense. Your story is much more fascinating tho. Some scientist could probably explain it, but...maybe not
It’s hilarious how people who didn’t pick up what this movie was laying down say that they did and that it wasn’t good. This is the kind of movie where either you can see yourself and your own struggles in it or you can’t. And if you can’t, just accept that you’re essentially colorblind here. You cannot perceive these hues. And that’s ok.
What struggles are involved? Are you saying that you have to fit into a certain archetype to enjoy this movie? I want to watch it and get something out of it but I’m seeing two very opposite reviews
@ you have to be empathetic to other people. Or you’ll be like “totally boring” etc.. So good luck.
I absolutely LOVED the uneasy yet satisfying feeling of We're All Going To The World's Fair. I'm so stoked for this movie, and I'm so excited to hear what Alex G brings, I can't get enough of his music.
I hated we’re all going to the worlds fair, it’s kind of put me off a bit now 😂
I’m inside my TV where everyone but I can see me.
“WHY ARE YOU HERE!?”
i'm the mask that separates them
bridge their sole desires craving
Yeule is such an amazing music artist! So happy to hear her in this trailer!
This movie isn’t for everyone, but there is so much there that I recommend everyone watch it, just to see what it speaks to in you. Definitely more of an experience than a passive viewing, but if you really let yourself feel it, it’s probably gonna resonate.
Can I ask what it’s abt? The trailer didn’t give much
@@Someoneudontknow120 I would describe it as a surreal coming of age movie. It follows the lead character Owen and his friend Maddie all through his adolescence and into his adulthood, specifically centering around a show they both love to watch, that seems so have some supernatural effect on them. That’s all I’ll say. It’s not all that actively scary, but it introduces ideas that haunt you well after it’s over, and it feels like you’re a different person by the time you’ve finished.
@@Someoneudontknow120it's very "I'm 15 and this is deep". Basically Donnie Darko for the zoomers and their gender and sexuality obsession.
@@danielstockley5631 I’m sorry you weren’t able to connect with it. It makes me sad to hear that was all you got from the movie though.
Agreed. There's a lot going in the film and you do really have to pay attention to fit it all together. For me, while certain elements didn't quite connect, it's presentation of adolescence loneliness and hard leaning on 90s young adult media definitely hit a button or two. Brought back more than a few memories, both good and bad.
1:55 A24, you did it again, a scene like that, if it leaves you with intrigue or terror, I'll go see it in the hundred
The movie is great, and the visuals are stunning. Kudos to the cinematographer and everyone involved.
this film literally changed my life
This movie destroyed me, yet reinvented me at the same time.(idk how to explain it) 10/10 I cried so hard for 0 reason.
10/10? Are you stoned? This movie was TRASH!
@@OffTheCover Why are you attacking everyone who liked the movie? Is that a threat to you somehow?
@@OffTheCoverI am stoned 7 days a week so yes! Hehe.
Also this movie was amazing! What’s wrong with your eyes?
@@ayemem.p.1173 amazing? not perfect? thats not a 10/10 then
Wonderful to see another LGBTQ character. It brings the real world into this film. Can't wait to see it.
im gay and im sick tired of the overepresentation we get, even the fking trailer “hurhur am lezbian”…. fking stop
I will watch everything Jane Schoenbrun directs
Confirming (not a spoiler) that this is NOT about that one creepypasta 😆 It's a phenomenal movie that's worth seeing at the cinema for a full aural-visual-emotional experience! I enjoyed it much more than "World's Fair" and I think it'll definitely have that polarizing "love it" or "hate it" effect with audiences.
Is it spooky at all? I just can't do horror films that are super overt cause, then I'll get super crazy nightmares.
@JustinCage56 ~ It does have some really creepy moments, most of which are extremely affective. It isn't straight-forward, in-your-face horror in a demonic or psycho killer way, though... but, yeah, I wouldn't recommend it if disturbing/nightmarish imagery has a negative effect on you. 😕
@@JustinCage56it's not spooky, but will leave you feeling uneasy
@@JustinCage56 Imagine if David lynch made an episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark". That's the vibe this movie is going for. It's dark and surreal and unsettling. But it isn't about monsters jumping out at you
I was so torn after reading some of the 1 and 2 ratings on IMDB. But then I figured it was just something some people weren't going to get and that's exactly what it was. Seriously one of the best films I have seen in years. Loved just about everything about it and am going again tonight.
This MIGHT be my new favorite movie
Saw this at Sundance. INCREDIBLE and one of my faves so far this year.
the cast is casting. I am so excited. This is such a cool idea too. Reminds me of the message "Little Nightmares 2" was trying to portray with the tv people. I love the soundtrack as well, and the colors. Just all around, looks like it'll be a great film. Definitely my most anticipated watch for a long time.
Was that Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl playing in the background of the trailer?
THIS IS EVERYTHING I COULD EVER WANT IN A MOVIE. Weird A24 horror with Phoebe Bridgers doing the soundtrack? YES PLEASE
and alex g!!!!!!!!!!
@@jellie-ig1hg yes!!! It's mostly Alex G behind the score which is so freaking cool, his music fits perfectly. But the other artists involved did such a great job! The band scenes were amazing to watch. I truly hope Alex composes the music for all future Schoenbrun films 💜
Like someone remembered Eerie, Indiana and updated it. I saw Pete & Pete in the credits too!
We are old
I love those shows
Don't listen to the haters. This movie is amazing with one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a film.
God, I have no idea what the hell this was. I want more.
Trans fable
Hype to see Jane Schoenbrun have access to an even larger audience. Dope. Also, Broken Social Scene sample can't be bad.
Isabelle, girlie, I promise you there's still time. You got so close before and you'll be able to take the step again.
Creative as heck. Glad all the art film kids choose A24.
creative? is a stolen creepypasta
Emma Stone produced another gemstone ❤️
So happy for this side of her
I just saw this film and I just want to say it’s one fit he most beautiful films I’ve seen in a while
I'm so conflicted, you say it's great and the comment above is a giant paragraph about how shit it is 😂. I'm not sure whether to go watch it or not.
@@brownjatt21dude it sucks I just saw it right now
@@shibainu9108 appreciate it man. I ended up watching the new planet of the apes movie instead of this, which was solid.
When she asked if he likes girls and he said "I think I like TV shows." That line hit hard. I'm STOKED.
Me too man😂 me too
Is she a he? That voice don't sound too convincing
Potential aroace character? 👀
I related to that line so much haha 😂
I saw 1 minute of this trailer. I'm in.
Saw it a month ago. Still thinking about it.
0:10 oh snap, the ice cream man reminds me of a twisted version of Mr Tastee from Pete and Pete! 🍦
Looking forward to the new Jane Schoenbrun!
At 1:45 you can see Pete and Pete.
Pretty sure that's the actor from the recent video game "The Quarry." I loved this director's first horror film "We're All Going To The World's Fair" so I can't wait to see this!
The beautiful color blocking has me in love already 😮❤
Recuerdo la primera vez que vi este tráiler, lo que sentí. Fue como ver algo que siempre había querido ver, y al mismo tiempo, algo que siempre he soñado hacer. Tuve una obsesión con ver este tráiler, y cosas relacionadas a la película, revisando todos los días si anunciaban alguna fecha de estreno en cines para México. Esa fecha nunca llegó, pero si pude rentarla, y verla en la televisión.
Esta película es más que solo una película para mí, fue como un espejo, como si me hiciera ver a través de mi alma. Tuve una conexión casi paranormal con esta película, porque me mostró demasiadas cosas que necesitaba saber, en el momento más que indicado.
Las cosas no se sienten bien, pero van a mejorar, porque Todavía hay tiempo.
There is still time. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
That one dude never stops working I swear. I see him in everything
My review: This movie is heavy on symbolism. It has a really good message once you realise it, and it is displayed brilliantly. No doubt, the visuals are breathtaking as usual in an A24 film. I wonder if Owen ever got back to being Isabel, but I guess that's the point of the movie. Pretty pretty bittersweet.
i love stylistic unique indie films... i love a24
I have a feeling that the director is a fan of Gregg Araki.
Jane always somehow manages to get the biggest indie musicians to work on her projects.
0:35 is that the lake Aubrey Plaza sat by in Blackbear??
I think it’s a breathtaking movie ever. Plus it’s A24’s 3rd PG-13 rated movie ever and I enjoyed it. Thanks A24.
When I finished watching the movie... I died somehow and something new was born in me, Thank you Jane pd. I love sad songs too. 🖤
Looks like some ‘Life is Strange’ sequel that went down the horror route and actually had a plot.
Anthems for a 17 year old girl is banger of a song
I saw this while taking a plane to Germany and I was hooked- the loneliness of suburban life haunts the character and we see the space beyond is where they try to find refuge.
Genuinely one of my favourite films of all time now. One of the first movies ive truly related to on such a deep level
This movie is NOT for everyone. And many will not understand it, but the true message of the movie is existential horror of not being yourself.
If you are interested in a similar movie, I HIGHLY RECCOMENED "Im thinking of ending things"
yea both of these are definitely not for casual movie goers. the horror of aging and missing out on life.
Thanks, can you please elaborate on which type of people would not like it?
how can it possibly be a movie about not being yourself what its supposed to be a pro trans whatever movie, which means that its pro not being yourself by default? why every time a queer gets involved with something you ONLY hear the biggest contradictions imaginable? :p
@@LaraTang my friends prefer more straight forward and satisfactory stories when they saw it with me and left the theather underwhelmed
@@Gnsd45 maybe you need to watch more queer movies? also the movie is not entirely about being trans a movie can have multiple messages and i don’t appreciate weirdos commenting
This was such a good movie. Omg it moved me
???? Are you high?
@@OffTheCover probably but it didn’t take away from how good the movie is. Either you hate it or you love it 🤷🏼♂️
How this a horror
@@eddie152bang was him putting his head thru the tv and screaming "your not my father" not enough for you
@@therealsilly that movie was not a horror at all
I have no idea what this movie is about but you had me at A24.
Reminds me of candle cove
its a rip off
I really want to see this so badly for some reason, there’s something weirdly hypnotic about the trailer
I saw it the other day and it is indeed very strange and hypnotic. I am still trying to figure it all out, what was real, what was not, etc. It left me feeling a bit sad and anxious. I would recommend seeing it, but it will be divisive. I have already heard some people say they got fed up with it and walked out because it is odd.
i finally watched this today with two friends, what a heart wrenchingly beautiful masterpiece
This was an incredible movie, it’s been a long time since I cried in the theatre, but this did it for me.
Were you high or tripping on shrooms? This movie was absolute trash
@@OffTheCover if you didn’t get it that’s ok lol
@@OffTheCoverbro’s really going around replying to every comment he sees and trying to get people to watch his shitty review that’s crazy
I had to turn on closed captions because "The Pink Opaque" is some Rural Juror kinda naming
Ha!
It fills me with an indescribable joy when someone else understands an extremely obscure pop culture reference. you (30) rock!
It’s the name of a Cocteau Twins compilation made for the US audience
It's just one of those days.
Then again, for him, every day is one of those days.
This was the greatest movie I have ever seen
Great movie. Just saw it, I am devastated.
I think if you’re devoid of empathy you won’t get much out of it!
I have loved both Hereditary and Talk to Me so I think this I es boutta be a banger
Just the plot summary on Wikipedia made me start sobbing. This movie is gonna ruin my day (in a good way) when i finally see it.
