We’re All Going To The World’s Fair is a coming-of-age horror emerging from that familiar subconscious space of internet addiction feeding alienated teenage insomnia. Anna Cobb plays Casey, a teenager in her attic bedroom, documenting the erratic changes taking place in her after participating in the online role-playing horror game The World’s Fair Challenge. She adds her videos to the roster of auto-playing YouTube videos about the game, leading to one mysterious player reaching out to her. World’s Fair is the feature debut of filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun. It’s a precisely built world both tender and truly frightening, made all the more haunting by its unflinching, thoughtful character portrayals.
