Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
A touching, heartwarming story about overcoming intergenerational trauma and abuse. I loved this movie's mastery over its own tone, effortlessly balancing drama and comedy from start to finish. Its realistic depiction of life in an immigrant family was refreshing and relatable, too.
