Everything Everywhere All At Once

Updated: Nov 18, 2022

You wait so long for a film about the multiverse and then two appear in cinemas at once.

Whilst the all-conquering MCU shows no signs of dropping standards with the excellent new Doctor Strange film, it’s its spiritual brethren in the smaller screen next door that you may be better off buying a ticket to - Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Not only is this gem better (!) than Doctor Strange, it may just be one of the films of the century so far.

Impossibly original and difficult to describe we follow Evelyn, a Laundromat owner, soon-to-potentially-be-divorced wife and suffering mother who’s contacted by a version of her husband from a parallel universe and tasked with saving the multiverse.

Fortunately, the events of the MCU may well have prepared you for a little of the sci-fi stuff but this doesn’t dwell too much on the science or the fiction, it’s a film about family and the self just with not a little fantasy sprinkling on top. It's not to be compared to any superhero fare then, but instead perhaps bears most relation to a more cerebral and sci-fi (rather than comic book) Scott Pilgrim but with the grounding and absorbing nature of something like Parasite.

It’s an absolutely wild ride, funny, thrilling and moving with stuff that you won’t have ever seen before and directions you won’t be expecting, awards-worthy and tear-inducing performances and scenes to boggle the senses.

This simply has to be seen to be believed, utterly glorious.
