The Best Picture of 2022 is official. And most of us are still trying to wrap our minds around around it. My review was rather sparse and disingenuous. Cathy’s (@Film First Reviews) is crystal clear. And she published it mere weeks after the release, almost a year ago! If you want to learn more about this cinematic game-changer, look no further than this scintillating write-up from a person who understands this movie, and the Chinese / North American culture clash as well as anybody, being a daughter of Chinese immigrant parents herself. Enjoy.
This is a movie that came out of absolutely nowhere but greatly surprised everyone who watched it. I’m going to be honest, before this movie came out, I had not heard of it, I did not have interest in it, and I did not think I would be going to theatres to see it. But after seeing the overwhelmingly positive response from critics (95% on Rotten Tomatoes!) and the high praise from numerous friends, I decided to check it out. And boy, nothing could’ve prepared me for what was going to happen. For me, Everything Everywhere All at Once is the best movie to come out of 2022 so far; I was blown away. Not only is this movie completely original and creative, it somehow succeeds in mashing together several genres without being overbearing. Sure it’s an action movie, but it’s also a comedy and a drama and science fiction…

it’s brilliant; two viewings changed my mind entirely; it offers freedom from a tight, linear plot —

Congrats! You are one of the only people I have talked to who have been able to comprehend it / enjoy it! I am currently montaging this movie with some others, hoping to accentuate the movement / choreography and the themes. It has been a huge inspiration already in my filmmaking.
