IMDb plot summary: An aging Chinese immigrant is swept up in an insane adventure, where she alone can save the world by exploring other universes connecting with the lives she could have led.
Directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. Starring Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, and Ke Huy Quan.
Everything Everywhere All at Once is a 2022 film starring Michelle Yeoh as the exhausted hard-working owner of a laundromat who is being audited. Amid all of her stress, she covers that the multiverse exists and that she is somehow extremely important to it and to stopping a mysterious evil that's jumping through the universes, so she must learn to jump through universes herself to solve the problem. This is a wild, funny, beautiful ride. The film really takes advantage of the absurdist nature of multiple universes and the infinite selection of literally anything being possible. Those absurdist moments make for both some of the funniest and some of the saddest moments in the whole movie. But despite the big picture gimmick idea, at the heart of it, it really does make space to be a beautiful, thoughtful, heartbreaking look at motherhood and existential crisis and how to deal with loved ones who are in pain. This movie at no point was disappointing. Every step along the journey was truly a delight.
