Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) – Review
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.

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.

The Memo (Part 1) – Honesty
“Hell no my name ain’t Bradley.”
Anthony Kiedis
Honesty is dangerous. But since, for the time being, I have decided to abandon my “Plan A” career, I’ll give it a go. If employers aren’t reading resumes, they’re def not reading blogs, right? (And if I change my mind I can always delete this😉).
