Writers and co-directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (collectively known as the Daniels) take audiences on a heart-wrenching trip through the multiverse in \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once,\u201d starring Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn Wang. Cr: A24<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Everything Everywhere All At Once<\/em> lives up to its title. The Oscar-winning sci-fi comedy feature<\/a> \u201ctakes the red-pill mind-screw of The Matrix<\/em> and multiplies it by infinity,\u201d according to Variety<\/em>\u2019s Peter Debruge<\/a>, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean audiences can handle the \u201cgnarly three-dimensional sudoku puzzle\u201d that results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movie stars Michelle Yeoh as a woman named Evelyn Wang who learns that she can experience endless dimensions simultaneously, and uses that power to attempt a reconciliation with her estranged daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The internal logic of the film is complex, but the gist is that different decisions cause splinters in time, and, somewhere out there, anything that could have happened actually did. So, that means there is a timeline where Evelyn is not the lowly laundromat owner we first meet but is also a huge Hong Kong action star, an opera singer, a maid, and a teppanyaki-style chef\u2026 ad infinitum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writers and co-directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert \u2014 collectively known as the Daniels \u2014 made the equally absurd Swiss Army Man<\/em><\/a>, about a man who befriends Daniel Radcliffe\u2019s semi-sentient corpse. This time around, the creative duo has the Russo Brothers (Avengers: Infinity War<\/em>) producing, with A24 and Ley Line Entertainment, IAC and Josh Rudnick exec producing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film rushes headlong into unruly anarchy: Evelyn is plunged into the metaphysical world of \u201cverse-jumping,\u201d veering from the mundane dreariness of a IRS building to the palatial lair of a nihilistic villain, to the flashing lights of Hong Kong red carpets, to a deserted canyon where sentient rocks have an extended on-screen chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
