One of those increasingly rare truly special indie films that make their way to the mainstream surface.

Brilliant film that I cannot wait to revisit.

As a 32 year old millennial raised by the television, Jane Schoenbrun has put words and images to feelings and ideas that have remained shapeless in my head for 15 years. The plastic glow…
