Multiverse-hopping mayhem, riotous comedy, inventive action; Everything Everywhere All At Once may not be a film for everyone, but for those with whom it connects there is nothing else like it. The film tells a wonderful story about family, generational trauma, and finding meaning in a broken world. Once-in-a-lifetime perfect casting ensures that every major character is alternatingly hilarious and stunning in the comedy and drama scenes.
Everything does not fizzle out at the end with the sort of limp, inconclusive ending that many blockbuster films have because the filmmakers either had nothing substantive to say or because the studio sanded down all the edges. The ending folds the film’s fabric back in on itself in an unexpected but obvious conclusion whose spectacle is as bizarre as it is heartwarming. Plus, Ke Huy Quan whoops several dude’s asses using a fanny pack.
