Mrs THC and I watched Everything Everywhere All At Once a couple of evenings ago. Despite the presence of the wonderful Michelle Yeoh and 93 year old James Hong, who has over 650 movie and TV credits including 92 film and 205 TV appearances and voice overs since turning 60, it was disappointing.
The film certainly looks good but once you get the basic multiverse concept, it drags on for far too long, and for all its attempted unpredictability, it became pretty predictable how it would end. It's a 140 minute film that would have been better served at 105 minutes.
Stephanie Hsu is saddled with playing a very dreary character as Yeoh's daughter (her girlfriend is much more interestingly written but we don't see much of her). Ke Huy Quan, as Yeoh's husband, looks unnervingly like Jackie Chan at times due to lighting and camera angles. Jamie Lee Curtis is quite good and quite unrecognizable as an IRS agent.
