It is the most bizarrely funny movie I&#8217;ve seen in some time, which just goes to show how films released by A24 are of a higher caliber than anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Most multiverse movies play it pretty safe when exploring branching paths of the known universe. <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em> throws literally everything at the audience, and the result is hilarious. Office equipment mechas, Human Ratatouilles, Rocks, Bagels. I honestly can&#8217;t come close to describing the rapid-fire series of absurdist realities. Some moments were straight laugh-out-loud funny to me, and others were&#8230;a bit more adult in their ridiculousness. I definitely suggest going in sober for this film, as you&#8217;ll need all your mental faculties to absorb it.<\/p>\n<p>At its heart, <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em> is a movie about family. Mothers and daughters. Spouses. Grandfathers. The only reason I don&#8217;t give this movie a full five stars is because the core of the movie is a little lost by the end. After all the weird stuff thrown on the screen in two hours, coming back to a semblance of a normal reality felt hollow, even if it was necessary to tie everything from everywhere back to the plot that started the movie. Yes, it is a heartfelt ending, but it&#8217;s difficult to take it seriously after dildo fights and hot dog fingers.<\/p>\n<p>The best multiverse movie to come out in ages, I give <em>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/em>&nbsp;4.5 stars out of 5.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-647\" src=\"http:\/\/benjamin-m-weilert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/255px-Five-pointed_star_svg-150x150.png\" alt=\"255px-Five-pointed_star_svg\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\">&nbsp;<strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-647\" src=\"http:\/\/benjamin-m-weilert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/255px-Five-pointed_star_svg-150x150.png\" alt=\"255px-Five-pointed_star_svg\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\">&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-647\" src=\"http:\/\/benjamin-m-weilert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/255px-Five-pointed_star_svg-150x150.png\" alt=\"255px-Five-pointed_star_svg\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\">&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-647\" src=\"http:\/\/benjamin-m-weilert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/255px-Five-pointed_star_svg-150x150.png\" alt=\"255px-Five-pointed_star_svg\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\">&nbsp;1\/2<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/benjamin-m-weilert.com\/index.php\/bmw-the-critic\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"312\" src=\"http:\/\/benjamin-m-weilert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-the-Critic-v2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benjamin-m-weilert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-the-Critic-v2.jpg 820w, https:\/\/benjamin-m-weilert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-the-Critic-v2-300x114.jpg 300w, https:\/\/benjamin-m-weilert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-the-Critic-v2-768x292.jpg 768w, https:\/\/benjamin-m-weilert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-the-Critic-v2-640x244.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything Everywhere All at OnceYear: 2022Rating: RLength: 139 minutes \/ 2.32&nbsp;hours Multiverse stories are all the rage right now.
