We're All Going to the World's Fair

About This Movie

We're All Going to the World's Fair is a haunting exploration of isolation and identity, beautifully directed by Jane Schoenbrun. The film dives into the life of a teenager who, while navigating the eerie landscapes of an online horror game, finds herself at the crossroads of reality and fiction. It’s slow-burn pacing works well here, drawing you into the protagonist's world, where her attic becomes a cocoon and a prison. The atmosphere is thick with dread, amplified by minimalistic practical effects that enhance the unsettling vibe rather than overshadow it. Performances are raw and authentic, capturing the awkwardness of youth in a digital age. It’s a distinctive piece that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt lost in the digital ether.
