Here is My Movie Review of Everything Everywhere All At Once

 


Here is My Movie Review of Everything Everywhere All at Once 



So basically what happens is that you have this woman named Evelyn Wang. She is having trouble with her marriage and her chores. Then she discovers the multiverse and she discovers that her daughter Joy Wang/Jobu Tupaki is traveling through the multiverse and killing variants of her. So Evelyn Wang has to do everything in her power to stop Joy Wang/Jobu Tupaki from killing variances of her and to save the multiverse. That is basically what the story is for this movie. 




The acting in this movie is tremendous. I think everyone gives it their all. You can tell that the actors have a lot of fun as their characters.



Now let's talk about Michelle Yeoh Because she's a tremendous actress having stars in films like Crazy Rich Asians,Crouching Tiger hidden Dragon among many other films. But I have to say this is probably her best performance ever entire career as Evelyn Wang because she gives such a beautiful and really emotional performance and this character and probably one of the most emotional performances of 2022.Now as tremendous as the performances that Michelle Yeoh Gives. The character of Evelyn Wang Is magnificent because you can see that this is a character that's really much broken because she is threatened with divorce And her husband do not pay their taxes they'll have to split apart but on top of that she is trying to reconcile with her daughter join Wayne that has been very distant towards her because she really doesn't like her because she kept on Trail like garbage saying that you can't date someone who is LGBTQ and constantly mentioned that she's fat and you can understand why she wants to fix her relationship Jay Wang. The scene where Evelyn Wang reconciles with her daughter and she apologizes for trainer so poorly it's probably one of the most beautiful in one of the most magnificent moments of the entire film because you can tell that everyone is really sorry about treating her daughter like garbage and Want to be a part of her life it is probably one of the most beautiful moments of 2022. The chemistry between her and Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, James Hong, and Jamie Lee Curtis is excellent. 




Now let's talk about Ke Huy Quan Because he is a tremendous actor because ever since he starred in indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom as Short Round Very first character and film he had ever done in his career and everybody really like him in that movie. Then he starred in the film The Goonies as data and a lot of people really found him really funny and really entertaining in that film. But then Ke Huy Quan Took a long break from acting because It was really hard for him to get different roles and films. But then he returns to act again after 22 years as Waymond Wang and this is probably one of the best performances that Ke Huy Quan Have ever given in his career because he gives such a raw and awesome performance at this character because you can tell that he was having a lot of fun as this character. He also plays another variant of Waymond Wayne who helps Evelyn Wang powers when they are traveling in the Multiverse Now the character of Waymond Wang Is exhilarating because he wants to keep him and his wife Evelyn Wang together he doesn't want them to be drift apart any all the want to help Evelyn Wayne survive through the Multiverse to stop their daughter from destroying the Multiverse. And since involved in the two are really interesting and really entertain the watch especially the part where Waymond Wang Tell everyone when you can either take nap or break arm to your access your powers and not only that really funny but it makes sense because he is giving Evelyn Wayne instructions of how to access her powers in the Multiverse. It is probably one of the funniest moments of the entire film. But the other shared a lot of emotional moments especially in the third act in the climax where Waymond Wang breaks down crying and explains that he wants to solve the problem without the use of violence and not only they really heartbreaking but really tragic moment but it makes sense because Waymond Wang Believes not everything can be solved with violence. It is probably one of the most beautiful moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Michelle Yeoh is astounding. 




James Hong still does a magnificent job as the character of Gong Gong. Now the character of Gong Gong Is tremendous because you understand where he's coming from because he doesn't want Evelyn Wang to help her daughter Joy Wang/Jobu Tupaki find happiness because he says that she is evil and she would destroy the multiverse. The scene were Gong Gong Is where he tells Evelyn Wang to kill Joy Wang/ Tupaki Because not only is it really dark and nail binding but it makes sense because Gong Gong Doesn't want joy Wang / Jobu Taupaki To take control and destroy the Multiverse and essentially annihilate every universe that's ever existed. It is probably one of the most suspenseful moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Michelle Yeoh is marvelous. 




Jamie Lee Curtis does a wonderful job as the character of Deirdre Beaubeirdra. now Deirdre Beaubeirdra It's not really evil She's just overwhelmed and stressed out because she is trying to find her own happiness. The scene Deirdre Beaubeirdra where she and Evelyn Wang sitting outside on a bench and she Comfort her by giving her a hug and explaining that she can find her own happiness in life and not only was it really powerful but it makes sense because she wanted To forgive her. It is probably the most beautiful moment in the entire film. The chemistry between her and Michelle Yeoh is terrific. 



However the absolute big standout of the entire film Stephanie Hsu as Joy Wang/Jobu Tupaki. What makes Joy Wayne / Jobu Tupaki such a fabulous villain Is that you really feel bad for her and you understand where she's coming from. She basically wants to kill every variant of her mom because her mom doesn't really spend enough time with her. She really reminds me of Wanda Maximoff from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness because both of them have similar motivations  because in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness Wanda Maximoff basically  wants to find a variant of her kids. Well in this movie Joy Wang / Jobu Tupaki basically wants to find and kill every variant of her mother to try to find happiness within herself. Also Joy Wang / Jobu Tupaki  wants to kill herself by being sucked in the black hole or the bagel in this case because she doesn't want to be in her mother's life anymore. The scene were Joy Wang /Jubo Tupaki breaks down crying and explains to her mother why she doesn't really like her and not only is it really powerful but it makes sense because Evelyn Wang didn't really spend enough time with her she always mistreated or ignored her and not paid any attention to her and it's probably the most strongest moment in the entire film. I still think Joy Wang /Jubu Tupaki is up there with Wanda Maximoff from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as one of the most sympathetic villains and one of the best villains of 2022. The rivalry between her and Evelyn Wang was astounding. The chemistry between her and Michelle Yeoh is wonderful. Fun fact actress Awkwafina was considered to play Joy Wang/Jobu Tupaki.



The directing by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert Is fantastic Because they also directed Swiss Army Man which is another awesome and entertaining A24 film. But i have to say this is probably their best directed film they have ever done Because the focal point of the film is family and forgiveness because all these characters are going through a lot like Evelyn Wang because she doesn't want to divorce her husband Waymond Wang And want to stay with him because she really cares about him she also has to do everything or how to reconcile with her daughter Joy Wang so they could be together again so she doesn't destroy the Multiverse. Also Joy Wang go through stuff as well because she is in love with her girlfriend Becky but Evelyn Wang won´t allow them to be together because she doesn't support her being LGBTQ. She makes fun of her because she is fat so you can understand why Joy Wang wants once to travel across the Multiverse and kill every variant of her mother. But by then they actually reconcile and forgive each other at the end and they become a family again. I also like how he focuses on the drama rather than the comedy because if you gave this movie to someone like Josh Whedon he would have just filled this movie with unfair jokes with ruined every emotional moment with an out of place joke and essentially would have just been Avengers Age of Ultron all over again. but luckily the film smart way puts comedy to the side while still being funny but focuses on more than dramatic stuff. Overall I think they did a glorious job directing this film.



So in conclusion i still really love this film because the storyline revolving around Evelyn Wang trying to essentially fix her and her daughter's relationship because they are in a horrible spot but she also doesn't want her husband Waymond Wang to leave her because she really loved and she wants to learn how to control her power than the Multiverse and stomp her daughter Joy Wayne from killing every variant of her so they could be a family again. I think this film had the best storyline of 2022 how it focuses around family and forgiveness. I also think all the performances are tremendous the two standout performances are from Ke Huy Quan as Waymond Wang and Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn Wang. Those two are probably the best performers of 2022. Although Joy Wang at the villain is really amazing she is probably one of my favorite villains of 2022 because her motivations are really tragic but really understandable she doesn't like being treated like garbage by her mother so she decided to go across the Multiverse to kill every variant of her mother so she can be happy but she soon realizes that she doesn't need to kill every variant of her mother to be happy she just need to find her own happiness. But something I really love about this movie is that it's funny but I like how it folks is on the drama aspect rather than the comedy because this movie doesn't ruin any dramatic stuff with a stupid or out of place joke because if they did that this film would have been like Avengers Age of Ultron because this film would have had dumb jokes that would take you out on the film. But luckily they didn't go that route. This is easily in my top 3 favorite films of 2022. I highly recommend you watch this film especially if you like The Goonies which also starred Ke Huy Quan. Then I'm sure you're going to like this one and if you have not seen this movie and you want to watch it you will not be disappointed this movie deserved to win all the Oscars. I give this movie a 10/10.
