    Everything Everywhere All at Once

    ★★★★★

    Nothing matters. That’s what we tell ourselves when the world starts to feel like too much. Because the world often is. How can a person, one small speck of dust amidst a wide infinite universe, make any impact? Who are we? What is our purpose if our purpose is infinite?

    I'm Still Here

    ★★★½

    The core family dynamic here allows this to poignantly shine in moments. Early moments of a family earnestly and lovingly spending time with one another to later moments of a family trying to piece themselves back together after an inexplicable and devastating loss. When I'm Still Here is fully focused on these moments, it earns the potency of its emotions. Sadly though the film starts to slightly move away from this towards the end and really loses a lot of…
