Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) Film Review

The Marvel Universe-Tree of Life-Cloud Atlas-Ingmar Bergman-Being
John Malkovich-Brazil crossover you never knew you needed, by the
A24/Russo brothers collab the world needed. Second time
directors, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert have created one of
the century's most imaginative and wild films, that pretends to
be a comedic superhero film but is a film about existential
crisis - how to deal with the suicidal depressing realisation
that life, no life, has any meaning at all. This is everything
Dr. Strange 2 was not and even expands what is cinema is capable
of. In this multiverse, even two inanimate rocks made be both
laugh and cry. Everything is stupendous all of the time. The
three leads are outstanding - 59 year old legend Michelle Yeoh,
joins the women over 40 action hero club but so much more. Her
career best needs to win best actress Oscar or it's a farce. I
say in the review no action/fantasy/superhero actor has ever won
an acting Oscar in the post LOTR era before, but forgot about the
Joker's! It also needs to be nominated for best director,
picture, screenplay, soundtrack and cinematography. After The
Northman got 9.5/10 and my film of the year last time out, this
joins it - but I nearly went full 10.
