Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

It’s been forever since I’ve actually given a movie a perfect 10/10, but honestly? This one earned it.

Btw, for anyone who felt like turning it off halfway through—hang in there. Trust me, those last 45 minutes totally make up for everything else.

Fair enough. But by then, my train had already pulled out of the station.

Honestly, this film is a straight-up 11/10.

So, if it's such a 10/10 masterpiece, why on earth didn't they include more of it in the trailer? I mean, I guess maybe they were trying to keep some surprises... but still.

I swear, I could show you some absolutely killer trailers for movies that end up being total 2/10 trash—those trailers seriously lie to your face. Like, what is the deal? Why don't they just dump the entire two-and-a-half-hour movie into the trailer instead? Just save us all the time!

Now I'm actually starting to consider whether I should even bother watching it.

Just kidding, I watched it, and the film is an absolute disaster.

I’ve definitely sat through films where everything looked perfectly fine in the trailer, only for the actual movie to be total garbage. Of course, I try to weigh recommendations too—though around here, they range from complete nonsense to an 11/10, I suppose.
I guess I'm just a visual person, which probably explains my obsession with trailers... I really do love them.

I don't know, man... I kind of don't believe you since you're always joking around.

I truly don't care.

I honestly don't get the hype surrounding this movie. It’s just painfully dull and confusing—I mean, I get that it's supposed to be disorienting, but this thing just drags on forever... I hit the ninety-minute mark and basically just fast-forwarded through the rest. People keep trying to compare it to Parasite, but let's be real, it doesn't even come close to being anything like Parasite.

A magnificent film. Likely the best one released this year. Only those with pure hearts will truly appreciate it.

Total garbage. 👍 I watched the whole thing from start to finish, and 🙂 comparing it to Parasite is a joke. This is just some Disney-style New Age fable about empowerment wrapped up in a TikTok aesthetic.

We haven't seen a mainstream flick this raw and unhinged since Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Seriously, you rarely stumble upon something this wildly different from the usual garbage. Forget Marvel and their $200m multiverse nonsense... this was pulled off for a measly $25m.

At its core, it’s just a drama about four family members trying to fix their messy relationships. But the way the movie handles those "fixes" is totally out there. There isn't a single predictable beat in the whole thing. It starts slow, then suddenly pivots into directions you won't see coming, no matter how much you try to guess.

I get why some people found it overwhelming. The way the movie just keeps bombarding you with scenes as it builds toward the end can be a lot to stomach. Honestly, if that's too much for you, feel free to go back to your predictable Marvel sludge. This is built different. What starts as a drama basically morphs into an action-fantasy comedy with a heavy dramatic finish.

It's original, trippy, unpredictable, fun, wild, and stays with you. If only modern Hollywood actually had a few more fresh ideas like this.

8/10

I honestly don't think anyone on the internet has ever compared this to Parasite—and honestly, why would they? For starters, one's Korean and the other's Chinese, plus they aren't even close in terms of genre or tone. Comparing them just feels totally pointless.
And honestly? This movie is like, a hundred times better than that overrated Parasite.

What is even the point of these words? Honestly, this is literally the only movie of the year that isn't owned by Disney—since they basically own everything now—and then people go and write this kind of nonsense.

So, you get this totally unique movie where the lead is a 59-year-old Chinese woman absolutely wrecking everyone in her path—and somehow, even that doesn't feel like enough! Look, I get it—you might not love it, and honestly, it’s definitely not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but man... at least show some respect for the sheer ambition and how fresh this whole thing feels.

Honestly, I should probably just stop touching this thread altogether... it’s better for my sanity if I stay out of this one.

It's all good, I haven't actually seen it yet. I'll see if I want to, maybe I will, but just like what I told Noah Roberts46 over on the BCS thread, this feels weird to me too.

I mean, why does the fact that there's a 59-year-old American woman have to be a "good" thing? Honestly, I don't care about that stuff. For me, it's all about whether the movie is actually any good—the plot, the characters, all that. The rest is just noise.

Unique? This movie screams AliExpress, but I agree. Don't even enter the thread until you're mature enough to process the fact that different tastes exist. 👍 It makes you wonder what you actually took away from the film if not that? That's the central theme—accepting others and things that are different. The movie could have easily been called Live and Let Die!

Oh, give me a break. You talked all this trash and now you're stuck eating it, kiddo.

Is there a raccoon pulling your strings or something? Because you're out here posting total nonsense trying to compare this flick to Parasite.

Oh, so you think you’re some kind of neuroscience expert now. I clearly misjudged you. And now you're claiming that this Disney flick about a mother and daughter really hits home just because it’s styled for TikTok? Please. 👍
Just enjoy the rerun on our behalf!

The plot is actually incredibly predictable—it’s just your typical woke family drama. What you *can't* predict is what the next scene will be, because they are completely random. Real unpredictability requires some kind of causality—something skillfully hidden from the viewer that becomes clear upon revelation. That isn't happening here. It's just a series of random clips thrown into the most obvious story about acceptance imaginable. And some of those clips drag on for an eternity. As for that misinterpreted pop-science philosophy about the multiverse being triggered by individual choices? It's even more idiotic than the idea that Earth is the center of the universe.

So, you actually sat through the whole thing?
