    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' is a divisive film, lauded for its imaginative storytelling and strong performances, especially from Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis. Many appreciate its deep themes and exploration of family and identity. However, some find it overly complex, confusing, and reliant on absurd humor. Pacing, length, and narrative coherence are frequent criticisms, though its bold creativity is widely acknowledged.

    One word: OVERRATED.

    Having seen countless raving reviews about this movie both on IMDb, and even more so on Twitter, I thought "damn, I have to go see this ASAP". I went in expecting something incredible, movie of the year standard, but wow was I disappointed.

    Literally 75% of the movie is fight scenes, like okay it was cool at the start but 2 hours in and still?? 'Everything Everywhere' is perfect for people with a short attention span because there's always something ridiculous going on. I understood what they were trying to do with the plot but honestly nothing stuck, it just felt shallow.

    Don't get me wrong it's not a bad film, but it's nowhere near these 10/10 reviews that's being advertised.

    5.8/10

    At some point in the last decade, cinema collectively decided that more is more. More movement, more colour, more genres crammed into one film. This movie epitomises that philosophy: pure, unfiltered chaos masquerading as profundity. It's action, comedy, sci-fi, family drama, absurdist theatre, and a philosophy lecture, all happening at once. And yet, somehow, it still manages to feel empty.

    There's no denying the technical ambition. The editing is frenetic, the cinematography playful, the performances fully committed. Michelle Yeoh is brilliant, and Ke Huy Quan's sincerity provides the emotional backbone. The sheer number of visual gags, rapid-cut fight sequences, and surreal concepts is impressive on paper. But the question is, does it all add up to something meaningful?

    The film touches existential themes- nihilism, generational trauma, the overwhelming weight of infinite possibilities. But it never truly settles, because settling is not in its nature. Instead, it constantly shifts gears, throwing another absurd joke, another action sequence, another universe into the mix. The emotional beats are there, but they fight for space in a film that refuses to slow down.

    And that's where it stumbles. There's a point where maximalism becomes a distraction rather than a tool. The over-reliance on absurdity starts to feel less like a creative choice and more like an avoidance tactic, style suffocating substance. The visual effects, while inventive, often look cheap. The action, initially exhilarating, overstays its welcome. The sentimentality, while heartfelt, struggles to resonate when surrounded by hot dog fingers and googly eyes.

    Then there's the Oscars. Seven wins, including Best Picture, Best Director, and three acting awards. A historic sweep for a film that, for all its originality, still feels like an unconventional choice for such conventional recognition. Will it be remembered as a defining film of the decade, or as a momentary fascination? Hard to say. I can respect its meaning, I just found it difficult to get through without getting bored. Also not as emotional as it was painted out to be! 5.8/10.

    It Seemed Endless

    There's a point here where we are swept up in sensory overload, where so much stuff is thrown at us that we tune it out. I reached a point about two-thirds through this where I couldn't get my mind back in it. Have we reached a point where we have no expectations of a conclusion. When one has someone playing multiple characters in multiple settings, there needs to be something tying it together. The protagonist needs to be someone we identify with who has wishes and hopes that lead us on. She seemed as confused as the storyteller and the husband. I guess I'll read some more about this film and hope with guidance to try to figure it out a bit. Obviously, all these universes and all this actions (way too much battling in my estimation) are leading somewhere. I thought the film had ended about six times. I don't mind being brought back in, but I wish I understood where we just landed. Yes, there is a lot going on and it is violently splashed on the screen. But I ended up exhausted and unsatisfied.

    I don't get the hype

    I FINALLY sat down to finish watching this movie. I had started it when it first came out to stream and turned it off about 20 minutes in, I found it so boring.

    But, last night I decided to sit down and finish watching it to see if it lived up to all of the hype and Oscar accolades...to me, it didn't.

    Don't get me wrong, I do feel Mechelle Yeoh did a great job with this very complicated role, so perhaps she deserved it...but the rest of them, ehhhhhh maybe, maybe not so much.

    This movie TOTALLY lost my husband, he just couldn't keep up with the different story-lines in different dimensions, and the fast-pace of jumping around from dimension to dimension often game me the "what in the world is going on" feeling. I get it....everything all at once, but sometimes way too much.

    This movie, for me, didn't make sense at all until the last 20 minutes or so when, at that point finally, the writers basically spoon-fed the viewer the meaning of the movie, because (in my own personal opinion) even they knew people wouldn't get it on their own.

    As for Jamie Lee Curtis, I also think she deserved her Oscar for this one. Hers was also a pretty complicated character in oh so many ways and a huge departure from many roles she has played.

    So was this an Oscar worthy movie....eeeehhhh, not so much. Were there good performances? Yes. Was this an original movie? Yes, I can appreciate that too.

    Was it over-hyped? Most definitely.

    I don't get the hype, it really was just so so

    Starting with what I did enjoy about this movie.

    1. The setting of this movie was indeed a more accurate representation of an Asian American household. The family dynamics sounds about right. I like that Asians are getting more spotlight.

    2. The concept/theme of this movie is rather novel and therefore interesting. Although I think it could have been played out much more sophisticatedly.

    3. The parent-child relationship is well portrayed. The perceived lack of validation from parents felt by the child, the poorly communicated love of the parent, the process of gaining awareness and emotional growth for both the parent and child is inspiring.

    Things I didn't like 1. It is a very bizarre movie, you could even say chaotic. It's as if they tried to combine every single meaningless detail together and gave up filtering out what's actually worth or necessary to the main plot. Tried too hard to make it funny/original/emotional/relatable that it ends up being neither of those things very well.

    2. The movie is also unnecessarily long.

    Those two points combined makes this movie just a long, confusing, and sometimes boring mess. The novelty makes it watchable/bearable, but to me, it's nothing more than that.

    • Crazy credits
      Whispering voices speak throughout the end credits, seemingly coming from random universes, in random directions.
    • Alternate versions
      Jenny Slate's character was originally referred to as 'Big Nose' in the theatrical release. Due to associations with Jewish stereotypes, the character's name was changed to 'Debbie the Dog Mom' in the credits for the digital and DVD/Blu-Ray releases.
