I Saw the TV Glow (2024)
The horror of being too weak to live up to your potential, the terror of living an unfulfilled life when fulfillment was accessible, the nightmare of the safe existence over the true dangerous one. Most stories are about heroes that defy the odds to actualize themselves and seize their destiny. This is about all the people who eschew the heroic path and betray themselves - for nothing.
