- TriviaIn a 2022 interview with Filmmaker Magazine, Jane Schoenbrun spoke about the origins of the New Year's Eve scene: "I filmed that on a camcorder. I made my partner drive with me upstate, and we spent New Year's bumming around Saugerties quietly, mapping out the path and figuring out exactly how to time it so that I could start filming at 11:57 and hit the center of town right as the countdown actually began. It really was this 'You get one shot' sort of deal. I had gone to an Airbnb up in Saugerties over New Year's a couple years earlier. I was sick as a dog, spent that entire weekend lying around feeling terrible and didn't leave this Airbnb for three days except at midnight. I staggered out, went to the town and saw this very charming, small-town version of the Times Square ball drop. After I saw that, I was like, 'I need to work that into a movie someday.' The idea that Casey would be there filming was one of the early ideas for this film. The loneliness of being in a crowd of people and feeling like you can say whatever you want because no one is listening, or is even aware you're there, is a big part of that scene. Also, so many of the kids hanging around half a block away from the center of that party we were filming WERE Casey. It was like, 'Oh yeah, there are Caseys EVERYWHERE in towns like this.'"

Featured review
The opening scene in 'We're All Going to the World's Fair' was very strange. I thought to myself, that's fine if that's how you want to set the stage for your film. Then the next scene was equally strange, and then the next as well - and I realised I was just in for a strange film overall. I didn't love this one.
There was a point where I thought the film was setting itself up to be an abstract version of 'Paranormal Activity'. I would've been okay with that. That wasn't the path it was ultimately choosing to go down however. The problem was I don't know what the path it was going down was. I simply didn't understand the film on the first watch. Or maybe I'm overthinking it and it's just as simple as it seems. If so, why was it worthy of making a film about?
The film isn't long at least. It would be hard to argue it outstays its welcome. It didn't work for me though and will be gone from my memory by this time tomorrow. 5/10.
