EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE - The POPCORN Junkies Movie Review (SPOILER ALERT)


Listen Later

Everything Everywhere All at Once is a 2022 American absurdist comedy-drama film written and directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (collectively known as "Daniels"). The film stars Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, Jenny Slate, Harry Shum Jr., James Hong, and Jamie Lee Curtis. The plot follows a Chinese-American woman (Yeoh) being audited by the Internal Revenue Service who discovers that she must connect with parallel universe versions of herself to prevent a powerful being from causing the destruction of the multiverse. The film has been described as a "swirl of genre anarchy" and features elements of black comedy, science fiction, fantasy films, martial arts films, and animation.  

Kwan and Scheinert researched the concept of the multiverse as far back as 2010, and began writing the screenplay as early as 2016. Originally written for Jackie Chan, the lead role was later reworked and offered to Yeoh. Principal photography began in January 2020, and wrapped in March prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. The film features music composed by Son Lux, including collaborations with musicians Mitski, David Byrne, and André 3000.  

Everything Everywhere All at Once premiered at South by Southwest on March 11, 2022, and began a limited theatrical release in the United States on March 25, 2022, before a wide release on April 8, 2022, by A24; it has grossed under $57 million worldwide. The film was acclaimed by critics, who lauded its imagination, direction, the performances of the cast, and its handling of themes such as existentialism, nihilism, and Asian American identity.
