Budging in line above my backlog of reviews to write one about a movie I just saw is something I've never done. I've also never given out a 98 before, but this is complete, maddening, perfection. It is literally everything you could possibly want in a movie. It's a breathtaking, singular experience from the robust laughs to the punchy, heartfelt, sincere moments, right on down to spectacular fight sequences and uniquely effective score. It made me feel like I had never seen a movie before today.

Probably because I've been an old fart since I was a teenager, this unbridled work of excessive imagination was torture to sit through for the last two hours. Crass, ugly, loud, removed 180 degrees from what I value about art and the way art deals with life, the film still makes an impact with its overbearing free writing style, where every arbitrary, juvenile idea is welcomed and filmed. So turn down for what?

How something this insane and absurd is winning literally every single person over is beyond me, but I’m glad nonetheless. Daniels takes the viewer on a journey that is truly like no other. Nothing can really prepare you. I found it to be a perfectly executed piece of cinema about giving your life meaning. It’s also masterfully shot, edited and acted. Yeoh is at her very best here. Definitely catch this in the cinema if you can. It’s one of the most immersive movies I’ve seen in years.

OK so I ended up coming out to my mom the same day I saw this so my point of view may be skewed but it's just nothing like I've seen in quite a long time and it had beautiful and poignant commentary on moving forward in the face of a universe that does nothing but kick your ass day by day.

A miracle movie. It’s a rush of a thousand journeys and arcs and emotions - when I was finally spit back out into this universe, I took the world in just a little bit differently. Yeoh knows this is the role of (many) lifetimes, and deserves every praise. I can’t overstate the deep resonance in its message: if infinite outcomes are possible, and you inhabit this very particular one, it’s because you choose to be here, which means you’re the best possible version of yourself. Carpe fucking ipses.

While it's very on-the-nose at times, Everything Everywhere All at Once is wildly imaginative, deeply poignant, surrealist filmmaking from Daniels. Michelle Yeoh is perfectly cast in this lead role, and she handles both the ridiculous and the heartfelt incredibly well. This film is all over the map as far as genre is concerned, but the resulting blend is deeply satisfying, energetic, and highly recommendable.

Equal parts hilarious and heartwarming, a rapid-fire journey through every emotion in a lifetime, or many lifetimes. The Daniels let their imaginations go wild (never thought I'd see a fight like the dildo fight in a movie!), and Yeoh is excellent in the lead, but it's Quan who really impressed me in his side role. Walking out of the theater I felt refreshed and had a renewed appreciation for the beauty of the world around me, like the day after an acid trip. Art only cinema can deliver.

It overwhelmed both the kid in me and the adult moviegoer. On the former it's full of insane action, amazing fights, and great humor. And cinematically it is insanely well made (and reminded me of the Wachowskis) in the performances, clever writing, the creative editing, and emotive soundtrack. But it tops everything via the themes. I've never seen a film so intellectually explore the immigrant experience, metaphysics, and human nature. An instant classic that I'm glad exists.

Hot dog, I can't plug this enough. Sometimes life is just too fucking much, you know? And you just wanna be a rock in silence, or say fuck it and break something, or enter a black hole cuz nothing matters anyways. And then someone hugs you or sweeps up your mess and damn, that pinky flick of kindness is a punch. It's the power of love in parenting, partnerships, and doing your taxes. It's holding on and letting go; it's action-(fanny)packed and hanging out at a laundromat. It's, well, you know.

Modern in some of the best ways. There’s no way the meta pieces and kinetic shtick would possibly work any time than now but also modern in a lot more of the worst way where it essentially bludgeons you to death thematically with a thesis I find to be very annoying. Not my style of movie/humour but I have to give it up for actually making something like this. That is actually making people believe that a movie that’s original is worth seeing. I did really like the WKW sections. Thanks for that.

Simply one of the greatest pieces of art I've ever witnessed. I haven't had such a powerful cinema experience since I was 13 years old seeing The Matrix for the first time. I hate when people call movies important but I think this movie will be very powerful for those who suffer feelings of nihilism and depression. It's absolutely hilarious, touching thoughtful. Dumbstruck and in love with this movie. Now I need to personally tell everyone I know to see it in the damn cinema already.

I walked out of the theatre and almost fell over from sheer exhaustion and the effort of getting used to just ONE world again. Beautifully mad, stretching the medium like few dare today, with Yeoh and Quan getting to do, what, hundreds of roles each, while still managing to keep it (somewhat) grounded. It might get just a tad too sentimental by the end, but optimism and humanity is a hard sell, and this movie makes me buy it.

Shallow drama about the value of family that quickly becomes a convoluted mess - trying to juggle broad comedy with philosophical concepts that it seems to think are fresh and original but are neither - the multiverse theory having been around for decades, and the central concept borrowed from Douglas Adams' infinite improbability drive idea from 1980. It's frequently annoyingly silly, and at well over 2 hours it's a tiring experience that yields little of interest and nothing of substance

Hot dog hands. Half-naked security guards. Old lady fights. Googly-eyed rocks. One of the wildest movies there may ever be, & I'm thankful that I got to see it on the big screen. It didn't quite blow my mind, but it was a thoroughly entertaining ride from start to finish despite the huge runtime. If you get the chance to see it, see it. It's fun.

I find the idea of a multiverse fascinating so I thought I'd like or even love this but it's just about the worst possible version of itself (in any universe). And while I do give it some points for creativity, the bombardment of painfully hopeless attempts at humor completely ruined it for me.

Personally I didn't get much out of it. Most of the time it never evolves beyond whackyness and superficial interpersonal problems. Every time it dives into their relationships it does so masterfully but the core of the plot seems so distanced from them the whole movie seems completely unfocused. Most of the time stuff just keeps happening and by the end we should care about a mother-daughter-relationship that is never explored satisfactory. The daughter is just way too absent from the film.

I saw this a couple of hours after I found out someone dear to me died. I was numb as I was waiting for the film to start, but oh boy, watching this was perfect. It was perfectly existential, with all the chaos, heartbreak and humor that the universe(s) throw at you. It was completely poignant, hilarious and it touched upon some very specific things that I care about. I could write books about this movie, it is hard to summarize the greatness of it. I cried for half of it, tbh.

The emotional core of this movie--finding meaning in the chaos of existence--resonated with me on a level that very few movies ever really have. That alone is enough to make this a masterpiece. Aside from that, there's a ton of fun to be had. Some of the comedy didn't land for me as much as I would have liked, but some definitely did. It's just nice to see something that is wildly ambitious, and still delivers on its themes.

Ok, so it's obvious you went to film school, but do you actually have anything interesting to say or a unique way of saying it? No, and No. This movie is too depressing, silly, and zany for my taste. Poor acting and writing make it unwatchable. Short-attention-span, know-it-all gamer culture has arrived at the cinema for no good reason, and sadly, it's probably the future. A24 has become a joke.

The writers went on a deep journey and came back with the gods’ stolen fire to illuminate & warm humankind. Normally these things burn up in the atmosphere. You can’t normally carry a snowball through to the summer lands and you can’t bring Eurydice out of Hell because you always look back, but in this universe, the wizards who made this film kept it alive through the whole process and brought it to us so all could see.

No internal consistency so characters could do anything and nothing mattered. All of it was just for 'OMG so random' jokes and to show off flashy/loud editing. But here's a loud horn noise and a guy turning into a ribbon explosion in a kung fu fight, this is a good movie, see? Flash jump into a hot dog finger romance into a fake ending, that's so funny and offbeat! Brain dead nonsense. How do people like this? I've seen screen savers with better writing/creativity.

An ambitious breath of fresh air. A 5-person VFX team working on a $25m budget outshines it's peers that have 8-10x that. The visual storytelling is nothing short of an resourceful artistic feat. Yeoh and Ke Quan deliver indelible performances that leave you rolling in laughter one moment, and wiping tears away the next. It's a family drama, an immigrant story, and absurdist existential contemplation, all wrapped up in one of the most imaginative films of recent memory. A surefire cult classic.

I have never and probably will never see another film like this. It nonsensical and violent, while also being incredibly emotional and heart-wrenching. Yeoh and Quan were absolutely perfect, as well as a breakout role from Stephanie Hsu.

S P O I L E R S This movie is Absurdism. It embraces the absurdist philosophy. And in the literal sense the chaotic nature of the characters and the way they must perform bizarre out of place actions to tap into a new parallel universe path. The editing, transitioning, blending of so many elements is unparalleled in anything I’ve seen. It started a little too awkwardly though and the bits become repetitive, but it manages to pack such a liver shot emotionally. What a ride… A

Utter rubbish. The epitome of Hollywood's ever descending spiral into infantile, primitive, intellectually offensive drivel, full of nihilistic, arrogant and prideful satanic propaganda of self-worship and the god of Pleasure, devoid of meaning and substance, devoid of even a notion of a soul, where "right is just a box" and "nothing matters" and "we can do whatever we want." Yes, you can - and you will all answer to your God and Creator one day. So pay attention to what you feed your soul with.

People say this is a good movie because they heard it elsewhere. I mean, the “Everything” part is great. Pulled me into the story and kept me interested and had me laughing. It felt like The Matrix done by Monty Python. The rest of the movie didn't hold up, felt like the creative team suffered collectively from ADHD, and by the end of “Everywhere” I noticed that my mind wandered off. A lot of talk and not enough show. Shame after such a strong start.

Indeliberately makes a point on the west's desolate prosperity. There's all sorts of fucked up shit happening in the world, war, famine, tyranny, terror etc. etc. but we're so oblivious to these concepts that it might just as well happen in another universe. Our core problems are centered around cash, attention and LGBTQXYZ. And, contrary to the movie, the solution isn't utopia, where everyone gets what he wants. It's reality, where everyone gets that he already has more than most.

A middle aged woman gets sucked into an alternate-universe hopping maelstrom of insanity during an IRS audit of her laundry business. It's the role of a lifetime for Michelle Yeoh, who convincingly plays many different multiverse versions of herself, from elegant movie star to frazzled mom to kung fu badass.

This should have been an amazing stylized popcorn flick, but instead it insists on being a deep emotional family drama. Because of this the cool sci-fi martial arts elements (while done excellently) steal too much focus from the family drama elements, making them shallow and underdeveloped. Don't get me wrong, overall I liked it and had a really fun time. Visually there is a lot to love, and Jonathan Ke Quan was great. I just maybe think the extreme hype is a tad unwarranted.

The expository curve is steep, but from the spilling out of the multiversial chaos when Evelyn begins to seize her agency, it is transcendent: the payoff is exactly the message the nihilist in me needs to hear again and again: “The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind.

Everything Everywhere All at Once utilises a messy premise to conceal the core plot of a mother accepting her daughter's depression. The film contains a lot of artsy, conceptional ideas with jokes that are ordinarily reserved for the writers' room ("everything bagel"), but Scheinert & Kwan's relative restraint and skilful editing make for a genre-crossing film that is entertaining and touching rather than pretentious. The cast is good, though it's Quan who's MVP for me.

Does every Chinese American film need to have a Wong-Kar Wai homage? It certainly feels like it. Anyway, I'm just glad Daniels seems to be establishing themselves as a successor to Gondry and Jonze.

An unexpected treasure of a movie that bounces between serious and goofy and vulgar and emotional, but in a way where all the loose parts come together to form this wonderful sort-of-kaleidoscopic experience that left me exhausted in the best way. Knowing how much of the effects are practical and/or low-budget made me appreciate it even more.

As audacious as you can get; but somehow it keeps everything together. It has crazy concepts, "what they were thinking?" style scenes (I have never thought that I will see a Martial arts Scene with two guys with dildoes sticking out from their asses, but here we are), and yet it is quite touching. It also tells something quite profound about family life particularly the relationship between a mother and daughter. Something that is definitely worth rewatching it has lots of craftmanship in it.

Love the main themes: the double-edged sword of uncompromising kindness and the wisdom in embracing absurdity. Refreshingly astute mediation on modern life, and a beautifully nuanced depiction of modern inter-generational relationships strained by the increasingly rapid change in core values and morals between parents and children.

Rather incredible, all things considered. Took me a while to break into it but, even though I thought some elements fell a bit flat, as a whole it was a joyously absurd riot.

Just think, this is the purile nonsense that "It's a wonderful life" would have been if they had highframe rate cameras, manic editing techniques and an inability to recognise completely unnecessary gross out 'humour' back in 1946. That's not to say it wasn't mildly enjoyable, but it's like a recent review i read of a Taylor Swift concert; "oh, she had 16 costume changes and dived into a vat of porridge!".. yes but what was the music like? Surely the story comes first or am I just old fashioned?

It has some redeeming qualities, but it is not enough to overcome its significant flaws. The confusing plot, lack of character development, and weak representation of cultural and social issues make it a forgettable and unsatisfying watch.

It seems churlish to say there is too much of everything, everywhere all of the time here, but it makes the film a bludgeoning endurance test rather than particularly enlightening; individual mileage clearly varies, but the Daniels’ script is philosophy for the TikTok generation: scrolling rapidly past multiple, dizzying ideas without really bothering to engage or connect in any more than a superficial way. However, it is a genuine delight to see Quan’s enthusiastic return to the screen!

Very strange but also great. I'd love to watch it again, there's so much going on. Some funny scenes in it too.

Remember when you first saw Being John Malkovich and it was ground-breaking and you recommended it to people and we all agreed it was strange and good? This is that for now.

In a way, the movie this reminds me of the most is 2014's Birdman, with the caveat that I realized MUCH quicker with this one, that I respect it more than love it. I respect the artistic direction, I respect the willingness to go more and more absurd, and I even respect the hustle of "hey, multiverse, that's hot right now, let's do that". But I can't pretend that this was more than a visually-interesting, unique movie, that I feel completely detached from emotionally. It didn't get me there.

The first two acts were brilliant, nothing like i ever seen, but lost me at the third act. It could be a bit shorter and more to the point toward the end and it definitely didn't need to lecture it's viewer! But overall it is still a unique, well-thought, well-acted, meticulously directed one hell of a movie!

A massively insane collection of psychotic thoughts expressed as a a movie. Some of it was so off the wall that it simply defies explanation. There is a message here, but you have to sit through a virtual kaleidoscope of mixed up nonsense to get to it. I can't rate it much higher, because at it's heart it is pure nonsense and an utterly random movie.

While it times it is very engaging other times you find the film making you stare at the screen thinking "Why is that necessary?". Those moments dont stop the film being a technical delight as they weave in and out of different universes effortlessly and give the cast some phenomenal material to work with. Michelle Yeoh is great as is Jamie Lee Curtis. As the film progresses it does get a little lost in the absurd and that stops it from being a true masterpiece.

Absolutely silly but Michelle Yeoh really carries the premise into believably. Stephanie Hsu should get a ton of accolades for her part as well. The middle sags a bit like most films, but they manage to pull it back together and even incorporate the anemic husband in it in a major way. I'll never get used to hot dog fingers. The auditor award was way too obvious at the beginning. Fav scene: Raccooncoonie.
