Review of Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) by Authoritykind — 09 Jun 2022
The movie is one of the most creative visual works I have seen in a very long time. There are new, unique, and well-executed ideas in its story, cinematography and so much more. It's very entertaining, and even as someone who isn't as onboard with the movie's type of jokes, I still found it very fun. It's also very emotionally heartfelt and had some moments that were undeniably hard-hitting, even though I couldn't truly personally relate to most of the characters and their struggles.
The only negatives, which are rather insignificant in comparison to everything the movie does right, is that its pace, in the beginning, is pretty sluggish and it continues to explain how its world works even though it has already given all the information needed to get it. The most nagging issue for me, although, is how blatantly clear it is what the movie is a metaphor for. When it's so apparent what the movie is actually about, it puts the necessity of the framework by which the story is told into question.
Nevertheless, it's a fantastic movie, the performances are stellar, especially from Stephanie Hsu and Ke Huy Quan, and I'd highly recommend the movie to just about anyone.
