Aussie boy's thoughts
Everything Everywhere All at Once literally places everything everywhere all at once. As a result, it’s just a big, dizzy and prolonged adventure-comedy with lots of humour, touching morals and imaginative messes. There’s also frequent changes between spoken languages that can be slippery to catch up with and it would’ve been best at a runtime of under 2 hours, but 110 minutes or more would do the trick. So like most people would highly disagree on and be able to make fair points that overshadow the not-so-great things in the film, it’s a bit of an overrated movie, but is it worth watching?
If you have plenty of free time on your hands, Everything Everywhere All at Once is an action-adventure-comedy loaded with plenty of imaginative sci-fi stuff written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. Their film is very trippy, original and completely weird, which is the entire point. It centres on an interesting but aging Chinese woman who happens to be an unlikely hero as she must fight the creative dangers of the multiverse to save the world. Give it a shot, because it’s either something you’ll love or hate, and you can usually tell the pacing at the halfway point.
This movie presents a ton of extremely weird, utterly strange and very trippy visuals and effects during the main character’s insane adventure. And it’s really just an adventure film, although there’s frequent moments that are brutally hilarious, like the hot dog fingers and the other crazy stuff. Thankfully, the story is original and that makes sure to entertain you. But to look at the touching elements, this movie does shed light on some parent-child issues and leaves very nicely. Watch this film is you are looking for a bizarrely weird adventure-comedy, but it’s just overhyped.
