Cinephile Corner’s ranking of every movie directed by Jane Schoenbrun:
3. We’re All Going to the World’s Fair (2021)
2. I Saw the TV Glow (2024)
I Saw the TV Glow is one of the best movies of 2024, showcasing exactly what independent filmmaking can be when handled by the right people. A24 adds another riveting drama by a fascinating young auteur to their trophy case, and Jane Schoenbrun announces themselves as an important and singular filmmaker to look out for moving forward.
1. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (2026)
Within just three films, Jane Schoenbrun has rocketed up the list of my favorite filmmakers. They are one of the few new-school filmmakers who effortlessly show they’ve grown up less on the classics of the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s and more on Friday the 13th, Sleepaway Camp, David Lynch, and the strange little corners of genre cinema that become formative when you’re young. Those influences have manifested themselves in sentimental, beautiful, and sometimes genuinely terrifying ways across each of their first three films, but Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma feels like the fullest expression of all of them at once: a wholehearted, deeply endearing love letter to teen slashers that somehow finds entirely new ground without simply recycling the genre’s greatest hits.
