I THINK WE’RE ALONE NOW
Dir. Sean Donnelly | USA 2008 | 74min.

For two weeks in 1987, teen goddess Tiffany blasted her pop rocket through the charts with a hit cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now.” Hilarious and ultimately heartbreaking, this extraordinary documentary drops you headfirst into the worlds of two of her most obsessive fans.

50-year-old Jeff Turner believes that Tiffany writes coded messages to him in her bubblegum pop lyrics, that they’re in love but must keep their feelings hidden, and was elated to see his name appearing next to hers on the day she had him served with a restraining order. Kelly McCormick is a thirty-something hermaphrodite contemplating the surgical removal of one of two sex organs, who years ago was touched by Tiffany when her music helped him/her emerge from a coma. (S)he’s been thinking about Tiffany every waking second since and has big plans for the day they can finally be together. Always impossible to turn away from, I Think We’re Alone Now slyly evolves from being frequently laugh-out-loud hysterical into a compassionate, haunting depiction of delusion and loneliness.
