Review of Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) by Boltron — 01 Jan 2023
An angry lesbian girl whose conflicted mother doesn't want to accept her girlfriend creates a bagel of despair that turns into a black hole, threatening to destroy countless parallel universes. I cannot understand how this was widely proclaimed one of the best movies of 2022. This movie is a pretentious mess that only professional movie critics would like. The editing can induce an epileptic fit, the story paper thin. The humor is crass and childish - there's a parallel universe where people have hot dogs for fingers. There's a scene where two men kung fu fight with butt plugs. Not hitting each other with butt plugs, no they fight with butt plugs inside them. In their butts. That is how you make the "movie of 2022", folks.
According to the Wikipedia synopsis this movies handles themes like existentialism, generational trauma, nihilism, absurdism, and Asian-American identity, and I say with great confidence that I didn't see anything of the sort. Sure, it pretends to, with pretentious hand waving and preachy yelling, but there is nothing you can take away and apply to your own life. What this movie does have though is a talking raccoon, under a chef's hat.
