This is the kind of movie you celebrate for simply existing, something so marvelously different but so assured, complex but accessible, and deliriously, amazingly creative. It's a wonder that something this bizarre, this wild, this juvenile, this ambitious, and this specific in vision could find its way through the dream-killing factory that is Hollywood moviemaking. Everything Everywhere (my preferred shorthand from here) is a miracle of a movie. Everything Everywhere All At Once is, to be pithy, a whole lot of movie. It's been six long years for a follow-up but it sure has been worth it. If these men can make the farting corpse of Harry Potter not just one of the weirdest movies of 2016, not just one of the best films of that year, but also one of the most insightful toward the human condition, then these men can do anything. They have earned a lifetime pass from me. We don't need more giant franchise movies seeing success, we need more of whatever the hell this is.Įven after only two movies, I would trust the directing duo Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) with any movie.

While simultaneously blasting the audience with powerful themes of self-discovery and familial relationships. At its core is a heartfelt dramedy set on the premise of a high concept modern sci fi full of quirky visual style and well choreographed martial arts. Watch the trailer here.This is the type of filmmaking that truly hits all the right notes for me. It will probably make a ridiculous amount of money no matter who says what about it.
