We're All Going to the World's Fair
Young Casey (great debut by Anna Cobb) shares her thoughts on life with her followers. There aren't many of them, but she hopes this will soon change. From her cozy attic, Casey partakes in a mysterious online game, the consequences of which no one knows, but literally anything can happen. After the solemn initiation, Casey documents everything that happens and get deeply into character. At some point, the line between game and reality begins to blur. We Are All Going to the World's Fair is a strong directorial debut. In a very thoughtful and visually attractive way, it shows young people's loneliness online as they are left to deal with the trials of growing up. 'Variety' described the film as what amounts to an unusually intimate, interior coming-of-age study.
