  Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 30 Dec 2022

  I waited to watch this one because I believed I had to see it in theaters. Eventually, I gave into temptation and watched it on a streaming service, and WOW can I say I was missing out. I love everything about this movie. I love the multiverse metaphor for mundanity. I love Michelle Yeoh. I love the costuming. I love the production. I love the story. I love love. This movie is one for my first and second generation immigrants; it speaks to what so many feel they lack: compassion. Beautiful. Beautiful.
