Review of Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) by Darestone — 16 May 2022
Absolutely one of, if not my favorite movie of all time.
It's near impossible to spoil this movie, even if I were to explain the plot in painstaking detail. It still won't diminish that cathartic feeling you're left with when the credits role around. This is to the films credit and it's rare to discover a film where the sum of all it's parts successfully elevate the whole so completely. This movie should have stumbled in it's near unmatched ambitiousness but instead, somehow, it incorporates slice of life, comedy, drama, sci-fi, martial arts, romance, coming of age and existential philosophy into an unforgettable package resulting in laughs, intrigue, adrenaline, and deep contemplation about the meaning of life itself. I laughed and cried along with the majority of the audience.
On a side note, don't believe the people saying this movie has forced diversity or has pandering elements. It doesn't, whatsoever. I think they conflate the diversity of the cast with pandering which is really terrible logic.
The acting was stellar, cinematography and editing on point and the storytelling didn't let up for one moment. A masterpiece deserving of your undivided attention.
