Film
Everything Everywhere All at Once (15)
Dir. Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert, US, 2022, 139 mins. Some subtitles. Cast. Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis.
The film everyone is talking about, this emotional, mind-bending stunner is a hilarious and big-hearted sci-fi action adventure about an exhausted Chinese American woman who can’t seem to finish her taxes.
Evelyn runs a laundromat with her sweet but bored husband, has a fractured relationship with her daughter and is being called in for questioning by an unforgiving auditor. When an interdimensional rupture unravels reality, Evelyn is pulled into an adventure (involving kung fu, googly eyes, hot dog fingers and more) that puts the fate of every universe in her hands. Fast-paced, fun and hilarious (it has been described as “life-giving chaos”), the Daniels have balanced action, comedy, fantasy and heart to create probably the film of the year.
