We're All Going to the World's Fair

Be warned- this is a slow movie. Like, really slow. About 50% of the time, it feels like absolutely nothing is happening. The only highlight is that the main character is a good actress (but not good enough to save this rather lackluster film).

Films are a subjective medium, therefore the interpretations can vary depending on who is watching and what kind of background they are coming from. I had read reviews from other critics suggesting that this might be a direct reference to creepypasta obsession or a general tendency of the naive youth who incline toward such supernatural happenings.

While I do not completely refute this set of statements, yet, with all due respect, I beg to differ. The film doesn't reflect any single obsession towards a particular subject, there's a broader thing at play, it is about this relentless infatuation with finding relevancy on the internet, finding comfort, or finding much-needed solace in the virtual space.

The narrative won't carry much weight for the people who hadn't experienced true loneliness, who hadn't had to endure the extreme ends of existential dread, who didn't suffer from any sort of depression, anxiety, or had to deal with a suicidal mindset, very rarely I say this but I will be much happier if you aren't able to relate.

To those who could, this message is for you...

I know life is hard, it's difficult dealing with the pain, at times it becomes intolerable, this pain becomes so excruciating that we often think of letting it all go, to disappear, I know, I had gone through that phase. To whoever reading this, just be aware that you are not alone in this battle, there are millions of people around the globe like you, trying to find their own places, their own identities. I just want you to hang on, keep going, keep fighting, trust me, you can overcome it, I know you will, till that day arrives, don't give up.

This is not a bad movie, it's just marketed to the wrong people. At no point is this movie actually scary, or even thrilling. It's a cerebral, artsy drama, with coming of age elements. There are a few times where it's pretty clear what's about to happen, not much of it is terribly interesting though. Will I watch it again? No. Is the screenshot on HBO misleading? I would say so. I think the main thing is that the characters are lonely, and it shapes the movie. Being a teenager is hard, especially when you're constantly alone, like our main character, Casey. Then, when most attention you get is coming from a random stranger on the internet? That thought is scarier than the movie, lol.

This is by far the worst movie I've ever watched in my life. I literally created this account just to express that. What looked like a promising preview, ultimately left us with disappointment, confusion and regret for family movie night. Whoever wrote, directed and acted in this movie should be forever banned from ever creating anything within the film industry. It's time to retire. It's time for a new career. And it's time we ban this movie from ever being broadcasted on any streaming network. I wish there were negative stars to give because Jesus Christ. The people giving positive reviews have no idea what is going on. They think there are metaphors but there are not. This film is simply just horrible. Please don't ever create anything ever again or so help me God I will find a way to sue for wasted time.

While I appreciate this film as a character study, through behavior rather than dialogue, that evokes idiosyncratic emotion, I could not be more disappointed with practically every other aspect. The movie was slapstick, cheaply shot, purposeless, and overall a waste of an hour and 25 minutes. There's an adage that if a gun is introduced in one act, it should be used in the following otherwise don't put it there. This movie did the exact opposite. Very dull on top of being dreadfully slow with nearly zero payoff.
