Everything Everywhere All at Once

Michelle Yeoh must tackle a destructive hole in the multiverse in this tear-jerking and hopeful sci-fi drama.

Raising an ecstatic hot dog middle finger to the negativity of modern times, “EEAAO” urges us to free our minds and accept that it’s OK to be strange.

Delightfully bonkers on the surface, this inventive extravaganza from the directing team called Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) has a deep layer of family feeling and a well-earned emotional pull at the end.

The most brilliantly bananas movie of 2022 absolutely lives up to its title. Michelle Yeoh kicks all types of butt as a time-travelling laundromat manager in a multiverse of madness.

Exhilarating, funny and moving, their film is also messy, overstuffed and a trifle exhausting.

It’s absurd and wild and wonderful, and will probably make you cry.

Imagining the endless possibilities that could come from making a key few different choices at a key few different times opens up a massive can of existential worms that Everything Everywhere All at Once dives headfirst into.

It’s hard to grasp how a film so chaotic and heavy with action sequences could produce a theater experience that encompasses equal amounts of fun with emotional sedulity. But the Daniels manage this great task with ease.

t’s so very funny, sweet, and gross in the best ways. There simply isn’t anything else like it.

It is everything for everyone, everywhere. Don’t miss it.
