Film Night

I Saw The TV *low [2024, US, psychological horror drama, 1h 40m, PG15] We start our Pride Month series with a recent masterpiece that is already becoming a classic! By director Jane Schoenbrun [We’re All Going to the World’s Fair], it stars Justice Smith and Jack Haven, both delivering career-making performances as a couple of friends in a claustrophobic cul-de-sac that share a passion for… an odd TV show. Trailer Review: “I Saw the TV Glow is a confident, original film, birthed and crafted in a way that feels wholly different to anything you’ve seen before – certainly not in mainstream Hollywood cinema.” —Wenlei Ma, The Nightfly Italian sourdough pizza with vegan and gluten-free options; bar with beers, ciders, cocktails and Italian wines; Thursday potato gnocchi & tiramisù; teas and brews, all served till 10 pm. Pay What You Can [online, cash or card], no one turned away for lack of funds. #101filmclub #isawthetvglow #A24 #pridemonth
