Everything Everywhere All At Once

Synopsis:

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?

Quick Thoughts:

There is no question: this 7 Oscar-winning film most certainly is a queer action film! Now, it took me a lot longer than I’d like to admit before I finally watched “Everything Everywhere All At Once”. And I will also note that it took me a while before the story really drew me in because the concept is a bit out there. But that quirkiness and bold stance of jumping universes to save the world is also exactly why I loved this film! And what a talented cast – not only did everyone portray their main character, but also how their characters would act in extremely different universes. If you haven’t seen “Everything Everywhere All At Once” yet – what are you waiting for?!
