Welcome (or not) to the universe of the multiverse, the one that explodes in the movies of wonder and which, like Everything Everywhere at Same Time, is produced by the Russo brothers (those of the latter two avengers), multiplies almost exponentially.
For those new to this multiverse thing, it means that there is not one, but many alternate universes, because the options seem limitless, in which other selves exist.
And for those with attention deficit, it’s better to choose another film on the bill.
If you feel overwhelmed or overloaded with the audiovisual experience, well, Everything everywhere and at the same time It is all of this and at the same time there are only a few minutes left until the start of the screening.
Fortunately, there aren’t many central characters in Daniels’ new film, as director duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert are called, who have baffled and enthralled moviegoers wherever this nearly 140-minute explosive madness premiered.
But in those two twenty hours so many things happen that they could also make a miniseries (which would end and could not continue), a series or more films. But no, they put it all in one package and garnished it with breakneck editing and sound effects to make the viewer feel quite bombarded from all sides of the theatre.
In short words
Let’s try to summarize how the film begins and what it is about.
Michelle Yeoh is an immigrant who has something of a Laverap luck. Evelyn is married to Raymond (Ke Huy Quanwhich as a child he was in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, but don’t tell me you see a familiar face because I don’t believe you). And she has as much trouble in the back of the laundromat, where she lives with her daughter Joy (Stephanie Hsu), or her father Gong Gong (James Hong, who is known) as she has back taxes to deal with.
And here is Evelyn and Raymond, who wants a divorce, talking to the tax agent Deirdre (a Jamie Lee Curtis misaligned, at least in our daily universe). But that’s where another version of Raymond “enters” her body, and it’s this other Raymond who gives Evelyn instructions on how to behave.
She doesn’t understand anything, but she listens to him. Or something similar.
Far away is the idea of telling how the film continues, not only because it would lose the surprise for future viewers, but because it would be intricate and endless.
The Daniels have a visual style somewhere between crazy and logical (not illogical). Because if in a parallel universe, instead of fingers, the characters have something similar to slightly flaccid sausages, it’s no wonder.
The film respects the rules of fairness, with characters of different ethnicities, sexualities and even prejudices that will be banned.
What I recommend is to go and see All everywhere at the same time rested, well prepared and with open senses. Open mind, as they say.
