Favourite film from your least favourite genre? #filmsky
I usually shy away from anything remotely associated with horror, but I Saw the TV Glow opened my eyes to how multifaceted this genre is.

Why haven't I seen anyone talking about this animated gem on Netflix!?

Highly recommend for fans of Your Name ✨️ #filmsky
