And I Reviewed the TV Glow


There was some crazy stupid discourse on social media yesterday (I suppose I could full stop there) about how much personal shit should go into movie reviews -- well buckle up because I dolloped a bunch of said personal shit into my review of I Saw the TV Glow, a movie which is going wide this weekend and which you can read my review of over at Pajiba right now. But then that's nothing new for me -- I am clearly pro-personalizing reviews, and find that entire conversation dumb as hell. Obviously I am one person bringing my own shit to the movie I'm talking about -- either what I have to say resonates with you or it doesn't but I couldn't care less. There are plenty of other people to read so have at it! Anyway I saw this movie way back during Sundance and knew it was hitting me in a personal way and that I was going to need a second view to write about it, and so here we are. Hope you enjoy, but I enjoyed writing it and getting it out so that's enough for me. It's quite the movie!

I love your personal reviews! Don’t typically read them until after I’ve seen the movie but generally look forward to reading them!
