When trying to describe Everything Everywhere All At Once, maybe the easiest part to explain, is the sci-fi aspect of this film, but I won’t because this is a film you need to watch knowing as little about it as possible to really enjoy.
The hardest part of this film to explain is the emotional aspect. I found the emotional roller coaster difficult to understand, but compelling. Was all of it the result of a case of modified Problem That Has No Name combined with Immigrant Child Complex?
Overall, I was engaged with every aspect of it: How the actors are styled, how the sets are styled, the action sequences, the dialogue, the consistency of universe jumps, the music, even the confusing emotions. I was all in watching this movie and hopefully I’ll get a chance to see it in theaters one day. My heart jumped when I heard my favorite song mixed into the soundtrack behind the fight scenes: Claude Debussy’s Clair de Lune.
You should see this if you like movies. It is an experience worth living through and I could experience this one at least one more time.
I watched this on the Showtime app in Hulu. That makes as much sense as the time jumping.
