7/25/2023 0 Comments Cameo biff wiff![]() There are also alternate versions of the alternate versions - the version of the martial artist who suffered a potentially career-ending injury puts Quentin Tarantino’s Kiddo from Kill Bill to shame with her one-inch finger pokes powerful enough to send opponents into aerials.Įvelyn will need every version of herself to stop Tupaki, a being who has somehow connected herself to every version of herself in all of the dimensions all at once without any fancy devices. There’s a version of herself who was blinded and became a world-class singer and yet another version who works as a teppanyaki chef competing with a rival whose abilities are unparalleled and inexplicable. There’s the Evelyn that rejected Waymond and stayed in China who became a martial arts movie star, not totally unlike Yeoh whose real-life images and videos make a cameo. With a random action and the press of a button, Evelyn can take on aspects she would have developed if she only had the agency. To do that, Evelyn will have to use a set of wireless earpieces and a convoluted way of connecting to her alternate selves. Alpha Waymond has come with a message: This dimension’s version of Evelyn is the only one who can save the multiverse from an almost unstoppable force - her daughter. Things get increasingly and incredibly complicated when her husband’s body is taken over by another version of himself from the Alpha Universe, the first dimension to connect to the other realities of the multiverse. In a perfect storm of circumstances, Evelyn will have to defend her business practices against the United States government, trick her father Gong Gong (James Hong) into thinking that all is well by throwing a successful company party, and keep her daughter Joy (Stephanie Hsu) from introducing grandpa to her girlfriend Becky (Tallie Medel), all in the same day. The family’s business is failing, and the IRS has issued an audit. The American Dream hasn’t exactly worked out for Evelyn, who’s become embittered and catankerous. There’s Waymond (Ke Huy Quan), Evelyn’s goofy and affable husband, who long ago captured Evelyn’s heart in China and persuaded her to emigrate to the United States. The movie is split into three acts, the first of which introduces the audience to Evelyn and her family. It’s hard to explain it all in words, but I’ll try.Įverything Everywhere All at Once is everything you’ve seen before in a way that you haven’t seen it before. When the credits began scrolling the second time - you’ll understand when you see it - I found myself sitting there in the dark thinking this may be the greatest movie I’ve ever seen. There’s kung-fu, a chef controlled by a raccoon, the aforementioned hot-dog fingers becoming the apex primate branch in 2010: A Space Odyssey, and a Wong Kar Wai homage that provides one of the turning points for both Evelyn and her husband Waymond’s story arc. It’s like a movie trailer that’s filled with all of the good stuff except it’s more than two hours long. The Daniels, the writing and directing team of Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, have created something next-level. The film will overwhelm you with images, sensations, and an experience that will make you laugh, cry, and shout, “What the what?!” ![]() Its title isn’t just appropriate for the plot - it’s the method in which the film delivers its story. Regardless, or irregardless, Everything Everywhere All at Once is a masterpiece. Yeah, the premise sounds ridiculous, and the movie really goes ham, literally - if there’s an infinite amount of possibilities branching off from an infinite amount of consequences from choices we make, is it that farfetched to have a universe where everyone has hot-dog wieners for fingers? But in an ironic twist, that makes her the only one capable of saving all of the alternate realities from Jobu Topaki’s Black Bagel, a singularity primed to wipe out all of existence. In Everything Everywhere All at Once, Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh) learns she is the absolute worst version of herself in all of the multiverse.
