MINI-POD review of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once
2022 release An aging Chinese immigrant is swept up in an insane adventure, where she alone can save the world by exploring other universes connecting with the lives she could have led. Starring Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Qay Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis and James Hong Directed and written by Dan Kwan & Daniel Scheinert who previously collaborated on the cult hit Swiss Army Man. With her laundromat teetering on the brink of failure and her marriage to wimpy husband Waymond on the rocks, overworked Evelyn Wang struggles to cope with everything, including a tattered relationship with her judgmental father Gong Gong and Joy, her daughter. And, as if facing a gloomy midlife crisis weren't enough, Evelyn must brace herself for an unpleasant meeting with an impersonal bureaucrat: Deirdre, the shabbily dressed IRS auditor. However, as the stern agent loses patience, an inexplicable multiverse rift becomes an eye-opening exploration of parallel realities. Will Evelyn jump down the rabbit hole? How many stars are there in the universe? Can weary Evelyn fathom the irrepressible force of possibilities, tap into newfound powers, and prevent an evil entity from destroying the thin, countless layers of the unseen world?—Nick Riganas This film was fun, highly inventive, and had some laugh out loud moments. Michelle Yeoh is her usually bad ass self. Ke Quay Quan nearly steals the film, and Stephanie Hsu neatly navigates the road between absurdity and genuine pathos. The writers obviously had a lot of fun creating the rules of their multiverse. I highly recommend this film which is already getting early Oscar buzz.
