'This madcap, maximalist opus from writer-directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert—who are sometimes credited as Daniels—is an exhilarating, exhausting experience,' writes film critic SeanMBurns:
You’re not going to find a film more aptly titled than “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” This madcap, maximalist opus from writer-directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert — who are sometimes credited as Daniels — is an exhilarating, exhausting experience. Frantic, philosophical and seriously silly, it’s entirely too much of a movie about how the world can feel like too much. Especially these days.
Screen legend Michelle Yeoh stars as Evelyn Wang, the mousy, miserable proprietress of a failing laundromat she runs with her bumbling, ineffectual husband Waymond and their morose, 20-something daughter, ironically named Joy , whose queerness is a secret to be kept from Evelyn’s disapproving, old world dad .
Did you get all that? Well, in any case, Evelyn is preternaturally adept at what the film calls “verse-jumping,” via which she can access all the skills and perspectives of her possible pasts, and thus “Everything Everywhere All At Once” toggles through timelines and destinies with astounding fluidity, Yeoh playing the same-but-different character while battling Jobu Tupaki’s minions in wildly different movies and moods shot in varying cinematic styles and aspect ratios, all telling the same...
She’s matched at every moment by Quan, giving one of the great comeback performances in movie history. You might remember him as Indiana Jones’ wisecracking kid sidekick Short Round, or Data from “The Goonies.” After 40 years or so working behind the scenes, he’s finally back in front of the camera, and there’s still nobody better at sarcastically saying “very funny.
I was not a fan at all of Daniels’ first film, the 2016 Sundance sensation “Swiss Army Man,” a buddy comedy about Paul Dano becoming imaginary friends with Daniel Radcliffe’s flatulent cadaver. But “Everything Everywhere All at Once” presents a real refinement of their creatively cluttered sensibility, in which anything goes in a far more focused fashion.
