Everything Everywhere All At Once

'Everything Everywhere All At Once', directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, is an exploration of humanity in the most chaotic and gorgeous way ...

Everything Everywhere All At Once is at its very essence an exploration of humanity; it’s sensitivity on par with the wonderful Inside Out. Because the truth is worth it.) The film deals with very intense themes while bringing in absolutely absurd concepts, including an universe where humans are ruled by raccoons (cue the lizard people's conspiracies) and Yeoh’s live-action Ratatouille moment. It’s hands-down a great film and 2. If existentialism is something that bothers you, Everything Everywhere All At Once is not the right choice but you should watch it anyway because why would anyone want to miss this masterclass in cinema? If that’s not enough, Wang’s business is being audited by Deirdre (Jamie Lee Curtis) from the IRS.

Writer-director duo Daniels have made a film that feels like a salve for all our existential crises ; Directors: Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert ; Writers: ...

Evelyn’s enlightenment grants her the courage to actually listen to her daughter and finally see her for the mess that she is. Waymond shows Evelyn, as a good parent shows to a young child, that courage is remaining soft in spite of fear, not in the absence of it. Evelyn and Joy’s journey is not only the portrait of a flawed child-parent relationship but argues that perhaps that is the only way for it to be. She gives up the facade of control and allows her daughter to slip into the abyss. On the internet, a healthy sub-culture of dark memes thrives on the idea that we’re tiny specks in a large universe so how does it matter anyway? For the all-knowing all-seeing Jobu, humour is a mere consequence of a careless existence. [no doubt a hat-tip to Yeoh’s career as an action star in Hong Kong cinema](https://www.filmcompanion.in/features/no-aunties-or-grandmothers-for-michelle-yeoh/)), a Teppanyaki chef, a blind opera singer whom her father is proud of, a pizza shop sign flipper and even a rock. Jobu’s first meeting with Evelyn is an irreverent show of power: She shows up wearing an Elvis Presley outfit, with a pig on a leash tottering behind her and proceeds to kill several police officers, one of whom is beaten to death with a dildo. “Just leave me out of it,” she says exasperatedly, even as her husband is taken over by a version of himself from another universe and fights off a horde of security guards with a fanny pack. This is important to the story. The Chinese New Year Party she plans to throw in the evening is a heartbreaking attempt to win back a fraction of her father’s validation. Evelyn’s excuse is that she’s a terribly busy mom, drowning in taxes, an unhappy marriage and a life full of sorrows.

Yeoh is the heart and soul of the film. The juvenile sense of humour may be alleviating for a bit but most of the time you get the feeling that you are being hit from the left field. A verse-jumping adventure, head-lining Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn Wang, Everything Everywhere All At Once takes you right out of your comfort zone into multiple universes of varying dimensions and is relentlessly chaotic for most of its runtime.
