Everything Everywhere All at Once starring Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, Jamie Lee Curtis, James Hong, and Jenny Slate. This outrageous comedy takes everything and turns it upside down to pull at every heartstring. Today I cried, laughed, and commented on the film, reviewing it in the only way I know how while sobbing.

the fact that it had a mitski song in the credits is a hate crime, we girls with mommy issues were fighting for our lives
Let me tell u I was already crying my eyes out at the end of the movie and during the credits when mistki played I legit started sobbing omg
no I legitimately said “i need to listen to mitski right now” when I finished AND THEN HER VOICE CAME ON LIKE ??? THEY GOT ME! THEY GOT ME!
@@payt00n SAME SAME
no because i was sobbing throwing up gasping for air when i finished the movie just to listen mitski sing
@@guppy8073 THIS IS SO ME WTF...
He didn't want to divorce her, he was desperately trying to have the conversation that would save their relationship (he explains this in the earlier scenes in the van, where she's first fighting Deidre). She wouldn't give him the time of day whenever he tried to address their problems, so the divorce documents were a last resort to force the issue.
He never wanted to give up on her, but he was very aware that she was giving up on him.
Wow.
She was giving up on herself.
Don't make me cry omg
OMG - and I just realized it's echoed in how things go with Joy at the end. Waymond asks to separate because he wants her to come to him, and Joy does the same. She wanted her mother to meet her where she was, but she asked Evelyn to let her go. Evelyn briefly signs the divorce papers and lets Joy go, and then she herself reaches out to Waymond and Joy and refuses to let go, which is exactly what both of them really wanted.
Yeah I realized that it’s kinda like when girls say “I wanna break up” when in reality they j wanna voice their opinion and get the persons attention
I really like how they didn't completely villainize alternate Joy’s character in this, as opposed to how they handled Wanda's character in Multiverse of Madness
true!!
I don’t know if I would say Wanda was completely villainized. The movie certainly didn’t give due weight to her grief given that she’s a recurring character and not a one-off antagonist, but the writers did at least acknowledge it. I suppose Jobu Tupaki is more sympathetic, but I think that that comes down to framing, given that her plan is to destroy the entire multiverse, and we know she killed multiple people.
I also have iffy feelings about Wanda basically enslaving a whole town and making them not be able to control their bodies, "save them" and then frame as "they wouldnt know what you did for them" as if they wouldn't get in that situation if it wasnt for what she did in the first place. Im all for her character but that one aspect really put me off and it reminds me of how colonizers gets sympathy for "saving" the people
The thing is, Wanda being a villain is consistent with her evil behavior at the end of Wandavision. It’s sad cuz I really liked most of what Wandavision did, but then they decided to make her villainous towards the end and then kept it going into MoM.
At least it’s consistent w/ her characterization but we lost a character we had watched since Age of Ultron. And it’s sad. If they wanted an evil Wanda they could’ve used a different universe Wanda. We saw her lose everything, struggle to get back up, and then became a monster. The character arc was just not satisfying.
@@Eggsther the thing is, it could be argued that it was a complete accident and she learned not to do that. But then she went and did it again to Agatha. Whose only crime was…telling Wanda she couldn’t handle her powers and trying to take them away from her. Considering what Wanda did and what she went on to do, Agatha was right. Not only that, but by brainwashing Agatha she proved she didn’t learn anything from the town enslavement and therefore is culpable for what she’s done. Before she wasn’t in the right state of mind which is why she did what she did. But then she did it while perfectly reasonable, and willing and purposeful villain.
the fact that joy travelled thru the multiverse to find a version of her mother that would actually not give up on her :,,,)
also as someone with a strained relationship with their mom, this movie means so much and is so healing. it truly is a love letter to cinema, and especially life.
same, it made me cry sm at the end
Thissss. If I knew my mom would be open to this, I would recommend this movie to give her an idea of what's going on.
i loved waymond sm in this movie T-T. Just a side note: He didn't actually want to divorce her! He mentioned that he only filed for it to have the paperwork so that they could talk about their problems bc he thought that was the only way to get her to talk to him. When she signed it during the midway point it broke his heart :(
wow that adds more levels than I thought
When they were arguing in the car and he said "it was the only way I could get you to talk to me" that shit hurt. Like damn women what have you been doing in all these timelines?!?!? Make some time and talk to your precious husband
Yooow I didn't even catch that detail in the movie just cause I was so visually/mentally drained by it but I was really shocked tho that Evelyn really signed the divorce papers
It truly was a last resort because I know so many immigrant Asian couples would stay together, so seeing her go through with it makes me so sad
"I would've really liked doing laundry and taxes with you" i'm not even the romantic type and this line left me yearning for a boring simple life with my non-existent significant other. Top tier. 10/10. Would cry again
This had me sobbing MULTIPLE times alone in an empty theater towards the end of it's run in a small college town theater
Precisely. I was in a full theater SOBBING with no remorse in the city lmao
@@Theyeahyeahwhatevs lol yeah, and then you have to pretend to just be rubbing your eye 😂 it made me sad at first that I couldn't see people pouring out for a movie I KNEW would be great, but then I saw all the love on the internet
Same completely busted beaten broken atomized and reshaped wailing in the dark and I loved every minute of it baby
no hold on i had this exact same experience…
I watched it 5x and I think I sobbed just as hard on the 2nd and 5th watches LMAO
I get nihilistic thoughts so often and it changed my life for the worse and I had gotten extremely depressed over it. I heard about this movie and went to watch it alone only knowing the premise about a woman who can travel through the multiverse and after leaving the screening I genuinely felt free. It may sound cheesy but this movie really does change lives. I’ve seen it over 10 times now and there’s still something new to find in every rewatch.
I had the same experience. I left the cinema feeling like an itching wound had healed. And I just wanna add that I love your profile picture from "Over the garden wall". Such a good show. It reminded me I have to rewatch it. It's been too long.
Free is a good word for the feeling of being a rock tumbling down a cliff. You didn't jump to die, it's a leap of faith to live as if you're flying
Of course you did! It's made for you, and anyone who has embraced that nihilism (which, honestly, how can you live in our current world and NOT embrace nihilism). Nothing REALLY matters, BUT that doesn't mean we stop caring like our lives depended on it. It's for anyone who has forgotten that last part, and it's so precious how it hard hitting that realization was for me and many others
I think this movie probably save some lives too. I know there are many Joys out there in this world who probably just want to give up on life. I hope all the Joys who are consume by the bagel will see things from the perspective of Waymond with his googly eyes. There is meaning in your existence and that meaningfulness comes from you.
My absolute favorite scene in this movie is the part where Joy and Evelyn hug after their conversation. Because in every other universe, there's this climax, where the music is at it's peak, and there's this collision in every other universe that looks really big and important like that watermelons literally exploding. Then they cut back to the actual hug and it's silent. it's simple. I was already crying but when they cut back to the hug I burst out into uncontrollable sobs that had my sister andfather thinking I was crazy. it's a hug. It's a hug. IT'S JUST A HUG AND IT'S SHOWN AS SOMETHING SO SIMPLE IN THE SCENE BUT IN EVERYTHING OTHER UNIVERSE IT'S LIKE A COSMIC EVENT. IT JUST SHOWS THAT EVEN THE SIMPLEST ACTION CAN MEAN SO MUCH THAT IT LITERALLY ROCKS YOUR ENTIRE WORLD OFF IT'S AXIS.
I'm literally crying rn I love this movie so much
Reading this comment had me tearing up. Hugs are beyond special to me, and so many people I’ve met over the years don’t like hugging. Like, at all. My mom is really the only person who hugs me. I love her so much and she’s done so much for all of her kids and literally all of them have turned against her. She has 5 including me, so she’s glad one of her kids will still hug her. HUGS ARE EVERYTHING! They are beyond special and I’m glad you saw the speciality in that sweet moment, too! God bless🤗
THIS THIS THIS THIS. A planet collision is as powerful as a hug, as to rocks falling of a cliff
@@dimilton3166 That's... an interesting situation. Feel free to let me know if you prefer to keep such things to yourself, but... why did they all (say that they) abandon(ed) her? 😮
it IS a letter to cinema, a masterpiece actually
I can’t describe the feeling of sobbing while watching absolutely clownery unfold 😭
Bliss
Right?! while bawling my eyes out I was thinking "am I really crying to two women eating their hot-dog fingers out?"
@@franknstein5376 I was bawling when they were two inanimate rocks talking to each other thru subtitles lmao
@@franknstein5376 looooooool yup
@@arandomperson2522 Oh my gawd. Someone who spells "bawling" correctly. GOTDAMN! 😃 *Here, you have earned this:* 🌟
We need more coming-of-age movies about middle-aged women 😌
The girl that played the daughter really did her thing. She played her role to a T and ate the scenery like she came to set starving everyday. The whole cast really but she's on the whole movie.
Also that scene where she gets shot and says it's organic, made it clear to me that she more so wanted to fuck with her mom and not kill her lol. Think about it, if you're parents actually care about you and they see you get killed or hurt it'll destroy them mentally, and she played that up to hurt her mom. She didn't come here to kill her mom, she came to achieve something
i feel like trin's comment at the start about whether she's the uptight mother or lesbian daughter really ties into this films sort of theme about the ways that mothers and daughters hurt each other and reminds me of that quote (i can't remember the exact phrasing) about how mothers look at their their daughter with envy for everything they couldve been, and daughters look at their mother with fear for what they may become (I don't think i explained this very well sorry)
also trin's reflection she read at the end from when she first left the cinema - i love trin's commentaries on youtube but honestly that review was so beautiful and eloquently articulated i feel like she could write film analyses/critiques
What you described in the first paragraph made sense, and I can relate to that. Well said indeed
I want to hug everyone who has seen this movie, cause I think we all relate to the feeling of this masterpiece
Verse jumping is such a brilliant concept from a comedic writing perspective because its requirement that you preform a "statistically improbable action" creates a reusable window to plug in whatever visual gag, or bit of slapstick that you want to do.
This is a movie that could unite the world. It’s one of the realest stories I’ve ever seen portrayed about how cripplingly mundane human existence can be and yet, we keep on keeping on. As long as those we love are safe, and protected and just LOVED by us and we them.
Hello fellow South African🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I keep reading about EEAAO, reviews and reactions and summaries, trying to find people who are able to put into words what was so emotionally and psychologically groundbreaking about watching it-- and I think your short description here is the closest I've seen yet. That truly is the essence :')
@@Liz_Luke OMG. I love meeting people like this because sometimes the reviews just don’t cut it. I would recommend watching Minari and trying to find a poignant yet relatable review. This is a Minari-fan account.
I love that it also shows why we should care about these mundane things through such mundane things. Two rocks talking to eachother in silence. A middle aged man dancing while scrubbing the floor of his family establishment. "I would have loved folding laundry and doing taxes with you." It's so beautiful.
I said this on ur internet mom Ash's video when she reacted to this and I'll say it again: As a queer asian woman with a complicated and tumultuous relationship with my mother and a history with depression, to say this movie made me emotional... is an understatement.
To face the facts that everything in the grand scheme of life is meaningless... so you find meaning in the things that you love??? Heart wrenching, absolutely soul crushing, sobbing my eyes out, perfection
I'm so glad Michelle Yeoh was cast on this instead of Jackie Chan because she brought so much life and nuance and JOY in her character and while Jackie Chan is still a good actor, I feel like he is much better in stunt oriented scenes than emotional ones
I honestly feel like Jackie's really good at emotional scenes too but I needed Ke Huy Quan in this and Michelle was phenomenal so I'm just so satisfied T__T
I'm also glad they didn't cast Awkwafina (sorry if I'm butchering her name,) as Joy, because while I enjoy everything she's in, my mind has already associated her with being the comic relief character. I don't think there's anyone who'd be able to play Joy the same way Stephanie Hsu did. Truly a stunning film
Saw this movie with my bestie and we have booked in to get matching ‘rock with googley eyes’ tattoo’s so that when we both are feeling overwhelmed we can look down and remember to “Just be a rock”
That's such an amazing idea!!!
Great tattoo idea. I wonder what else people will end up getting to commemorate this incredible movie.
Took me awhile to see how by dressing in black with an all white background, you are literally the bagel 🥯
11:50 Waymond's lines (which are cut from the video here, sadly) here are a reference to "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" by Nine Days. They were added on a rewrite as a joke, but the lines were so good they were never replaced.
Then the team making the movie reached out to the band's lead singer who made three covers of the song for the movie- one played in the car when another Waymond is talking to Evelyn about the divorce papers, one during the Raccacoonie scene- called "Absolutely (Story of a Chef)"- and the last in a later scene where another Evelyn works at a BDSM club- called "Absolutely (Story of a Dom)".
On another note, one of my favorite parts of this movie are actually the sausage fingers- they're so ridiculous and it's got a point. Evelyn can't relate to Joy on one level because she can't understand that Joy loves a woman. In another scene Evelyn is asked to "proclaim her love" for Deirdre, and "really believe it". Both of these concepts are 'ridiculous' to Evelyn, and so it's a great moment when, during the climax of the movie, it's revealed in the ridiculous sausage finger universe she's also in love with a woman and that woman is Deirdre.
The first time I saw this I sobbed for like the last 20 minutes straight. The second time I saw it I cried for like the last 40 minutes straight. This movie is so so special to me. It breaks my heart and makes me cry every time I see or think about it. I just want everyone to watch it.
I agree. As someone who's gay, has mommy issues, and is depressed... holy shit. This truly is a movie directed towards me. Not only that, but everyone can find a little bit of themselves in it as well. Truly a cinematic masterpiece.
OMG same! I didn't even know exactly what I was crying about. But it was a catharsis
I think the fact that the main Evelyn had so any aspirations that were never realised is a big reason why she was so eager to help her alt-husband. She has infinite potential unrealised and she can finally channel it into something productive, it's such an uplifting message to people who feel like their life has been wasted on nothing that they can still do something great with their lives.
It really is just THAT good. I can't NOT cry, no matter how many times I watch it.
this movie is literally the only movie i've ever cried to. it is so good at portraying thoughts and feelings i've had for such a long time and it is so soothing to see that im not alone
Look up 21 grams and let us know if it also made you cry. Another really specific and impactful movie for me
If you want more pieces of media that are good at portraying thoughts, I recommend BoJack Horseman lol
I cried all the way though this movie. Happy and sad tears. It was a joy to watch and the only Multiverse I care about.
It's so funny that nowadays 25 million dollars is actually considered low budget. Especially for a movie of this size and scale. But I could not be MORE happy that this film was successful and reached so many people.
(This doesn't have anything to do with anything but another movie that changed my life personally is Pan's Labyrinth).
it's planets crashing together and it's mother hugging her daughter and it's love!!! it makes me cry so hard i love this movie
This movie is The Real Multiverse Of Madness
Waaiiittt, you're telling me the dad played the kid in Indian Jones and only had ONE role between then and now?!? No way! That man is waaayyy too talented to not be in a bunch of films. The main cast all really did so well and really brought so much passion to this movie. If he was retired I'm glad he came out to do this film, because everyone was perfectly casted
He was also data in the goonies too
He did have other roles. I don't think he actually until his late teens. He did some TV shows after Goonies/Temple of Doom. He says he retired not because he couldn't get parts, but that he was unsatisfied with the parts he was offered. They were all very...stereotypical. And he didn't want to only ever play the stereotypical "Asian" character.
he didn't intend to divorce with her, he wanted to have a conversation about their marriage. He never meant to leave her in the original timeline, he's just being straightforward about his wants in their relationship BECAUSE he loves her and wishes to stay with her in the long run. He let her sign it because that's what she seemed to want, but he was clearly heartbroken if the hug says anything about it.
Saw this movie with my brother who NEVER cries at movies and laughs at me for doing so. I was bawling towards the end but trying to maintain my composer, so as not to embarrass myself, but then I heard him sniffling next to me and looked over and saw him tearing up too. The fact that this movie had brought him to tears meant that it was truly fucking incredible. I'm so glad this movie meant as much to him as it did to me :,)
I went to go see this w my dad who is also a legally in this country only bc of my white grandparents, they’ve hurt me so much and he’s never once stuck up for me, he lets the people around us walk all over me and is very controlling at times, our relationship is complicated and I had a shred of hope that if we watched this movie together he’d somehow connect the dots and want to treat me better for some reason? Idk lol, I’d seen people taking their parents and saw reviews saying their moms had hugged them after and started crying w them, idk what I was thinking haha. I was sobbing and when I looked at my dad during the credits it made me cry even harder because he didn’t get it which stung so much and I don’t think he ever will :/ ( was also on my period so everything was making me cry at the time which didn’t help loll ) EDIT : thank you all for the sweet comments 🥺
this comment made me sob so much im so sorry
hey, at least you tried reaching out to him through this movie. i admire your bravery! it's too bad he didnt get it :/
I'm so sorry he didn't understand the way you desired him to, that must have hurt so much :((( I hope someday you get to be understood by him and your relationship gets to heal
same here:((( i have a pretty complicated relationship with my mother and i would love to watch this movie with her because it explains how i feel fo well. but i know that she won't understand the meaning of it because it's not the kind of things she would watch. and it just makes me feel dumb and stuck in this situation.
That is the most painful shit, I’m so sorry that happened. Virtual hug sending for sure 🥺❤️
It’s honestly wild to me bc I was sitting here tearing up over the scene/w the rocks where the she gave up and the rock falls down the mountain away from her and I.... they’re rocks!!! Like I was sitting there laughing at myself for getting so emotional about rocks but that scene was so so heartbreaking and well-done just like this whole movie bro
I watched this movie four times in theaters and SOBBED for like 40 minutes straight each time-this movie is so sentimental and personal, honestly it changed my life and I’m not even joking 😭💘 I also love the conversation of negative nihilism vs positive nihilism-the idea that “nothing matters” doesn’t have to be necessarily negative; that concept can also be incredibly freeing bc if nothing matters then you truly are free to decide what it is that matters to you-in a sense everything that is important to you…matters :’)
The title is the most factual thing I’ve ever read this movie is such a masterpiece
"This movie has changed the trajectory of my life."
What a special, deep, primal magic... I'm so glad we all got to experience this film. How beautiful.
In an age of social media and "influencers", I think it's such a powerful message to say that nothing else matters except the single life that we are given, and what we make of it/what we choose to do. It's a wonderful and refreshing depiction of the conflicting schools of thought between the nihilism and optimism. Perhaps individualism in a communal way of shared experience.
The fact that me and my mom went to see this movie together, and she was on her phone almost the whole time even while I was crying 😰
i connected with this movie SO MUCH through the mother daughter relationship in it
the start of the video is so relatable, went to see it twice, dragged my sister to see it for the first time in our local indie cinema
My flatmate and I decided to go see it an hour before the screening. I was so unprepared. I sobbed audibly loudly and as if I had never heard of crying before let alone done it. After the lights went up we just stared at eachother puffy eyed baffled, laughing at how absolutely broken we were. We walked home for an hour just to process it all. This movie is life surmised, stunning.
I also really love the "Story of a Girl" reference. It was funny because I was in the theater, leaned over to my mom, and said "Is he quoting lyrics rn???" And yeah! Turns out they also had versions of the song play in other parts of the movie because they felt it fit the story iirc
I don’t know if you already said this because I just started the video, but when you mentioned the circles, it reminded me of how it opens with the family together in the circle mirror, and the whole movie portrays (?) depression and nihilism as the everything bagel which is missing the whole in the middle and I just thought that it was a good parallel to the theme of the movie, like love and family fill up the hole and stop you from getting sucked into that darkness
The way characters experience nihilism is so relatable
“Am I an uptight mother or am I a lesbian daughter?”
Well, there are two wolves inside you….
ive seen this movie so many times and the scene with Rich Waymond always breaks me. we always overthink and want so much, expecting the most, but the most fulfilling moments in life are the simple ones spent with the people you love
it somehow felt so personal when watching the first scenes in a small cinema where everyone was white except for me & my friend, knowing that for those people it must've brought a whole different feeling but it hit so close to home for me; the language switching, the grandpa/family dynamics, the stress, the food, the home, the way they talked to each other. the movie truly was an EXPERIENCE, love and have been waiting on this commentary and reading everyone's thoughts here
I’m a trans guy, and I’ve had some really rough patches in my life especially when it comes to my parents, so that movie and especially the relationship between joy and her mom hit me like a fucking truck. I was watching it with a friend of mine, and they weren’t affected by the mother daughter dynamic as much as they were affected by the father’s speech about kindness. So we had such… different takeaways from the movie, and it was still such a life changing experience for both of us, and… I dunno i just think it’s pretty damn cool
I left the theater crying when I saw it too 🤣
This is one of those movies you don't care ugly crying to because when you realize it everyone else is doing the same, what a beautiful film goddamn.
1. Your hair looks soooo beautiful
2. I regret not seeing this in theatres
3. That opening clip was me leaving no way home 🤣
the fact that I watched this movie for the first time two hours ago and you just put out this video is amazing! They did a rerelease in theatres recently so I got to experience it in theatres which was so cool and I cried so much!
I wanna note that the light being lit from every angle of their faces yalso represents a circle 🫥
This movie was SO GOOD, in all the ways. Not only did Ke Huy Quan do an AMAZING job and I'm so glad he started again, but Waymond Wang is just my absolute favourite character in any movie I've seen in the past year or more. He's got ALL the soft power.
the film goes STRAIGHT for the throat of humanity, omfg. like the set-up is "every person across the world and throughout history has experienced this psychological anguish of existential dread. in case you forgot, this is what it feels like! do you feel that crushing sensation in your chest yet?"
followed by "here are some different philosophies that sprung up through history in this search for meaning, some of which are EXTREMELY depressing, and which have probably occurred to you too, possibly in a way that has drained you of a will to do anything, or even the will to live!"
then finally "and here is a sweet unassuming husband/dad who embodies a philosophy that will actually provide you with meaningful purpose, and which lifts some of the weight of existence from your shoulders! enjoy~~! have a nice rest of your dayyy~"
all that and hotdog fingers
omg i’m so glad you covered this movie, it’s now one of my favorites and is just so perfect. it’s a sci fi comedy action romance and deals with family issues and depression so well AND does the multiverse in an actually cool and creative way and AH i love it sm
Everytime I think about this movie or watch a commentary about it I still tear up. I was crying my heart out in the cinema, damn
I'm literally obsessed with this movie. It has quickly become one of my favorites. Both times I saw it, I cried. I explained lore to the people that came with me and read analytical posts so I could better understand the story. It feels so real. They did an incredible job balancing humor with the deep, serious meaning underlying it all. It's a genre bending, impactful masterpiece. Whenever I feel down about life, I think I'll watch it again.
I still enjoy how they were able to put lyrics from Absolutely (Story of a Girl) by Nine Days in the dialogue of the film lol.
Me too! I thought it was a mistake but then they played it. I was the only one laughing in the theatre!
I didn't have the chance to finish watching this movie when it came out. This is just a summary and the line of "In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you" made me cry right now. This is just how powerful this movie is.
This movie had me crying for hours over some silent rocks
I watched this with my friend and it was a life changing experience. This girl ran out of the theater sobbing bc the relationship between joy and her mother remained her abour her sister and her mother's dynamic.
like..DAMN, a genuine mother-daughter hug would be so nice to me right now :') ♥️ (this movie is too good, i'm so happy we get to hear your thoughts on it !!)
the first time i watched this was with my mom at the theater. when it ended we both stood up and i sobbed in her arms for a little while. that experience was very healing.
this movie both lifts me up and destroys me. all the things i could’ve done or been gets to me sometimes. evelyn’s arc of self-acceptance and using all of the talents and dreams she doesn’t utilize day to day makes me feel good. it’s still in us somewhere, and we can use it to better ourselves and help others around us. it’s hard to remember when you’re stuck inside a bagel. this woke me up. i’ll always love this movie. i cry at waymod’s laundry and taxes line and evelyn’s monologue at the end every time i watch this.
I no joke saw this movie 7 times in the theater. Every single time I laughed and cried. The way this movie captures intergenerational trauma and the complexity of a mother daughter relationship where the mom can only give what she has received all while being aware that there’s more she could be doing, just wow what a movie
beginning where you’re just crying was me but for half the movie straight up. it was my birthday and i was having a bad time, really emotionally vulnerable, but my mum spent the day with me even though i was struggling so hard and the last thing we were going to do was see this movie and it just broke me. like the movie was already iconic but it got to waymond talking about how things feel off and asking evelyn if she felt it too, and it just resonated with how i had been feeling for a few years now and how afraid i’ve been that things will always feel this way. and then the movie kicked it up a notch again with waymond talking about his internalised guilt later in the film like i started crying and didn’t stop until long after the movie had ended and i got home. and that’s not even touching on the mother/daughter relationship, queer themes, the “doomsday device” that by the middle of the film you learn is just a metaphor for depression and you realise joy only created it to use on herself. and the depression metaphor gets darker. and god the editing had such flair, i loved the jumpcuts with joy and how they were used to visualise the alternate realities. this entire movie perfectly rides the line of ridiculous and sincere, it’s one of a kind.
I love how the first few shots in this movie let you know there's gonna be a lot going on in the background so you should keep your eyes open. I saw that first pair of googly eyes and understood the assignment lol
There's this quote about storytelling, I just remember the jist of it but "it's easier telling a story about people hurting eachother than it is telling a story about what brings people together." I think it applies a lot to film, its cliches etc. but I see this film as the prime example of showing it, and it's masterful. It tells both how we devalue those we love (and how natural it is in life, just how easy it is in our everyday lives), but most importantly what binds us together afterwards. How the breaking point is when we see how things truly are and what of it matters, how we can live through, or despite, the circumstances we're faced with. It's just absolutely masterful to see that theme woven in with the nihilism it just assumes (nothing TRULY does matter)... I just really love this film.
"When you're a parent you never stop learning" basically the weird one-two punch of this movie and Turning Red.
A girl's most crucial choice in life..
"Am I an uptight mother or Am I a Lesbian daughter?"
Trin, your review for this movie summed it up perfectly! You brought me to tears. I love you so much ❤️
I have watched so many videos on this movie because I love hearing different people's perspectives on it and this has to be my favorite, you explain this whole movie and the messages in it so well👏👏👏👏
A life changing movie, i cant even explain it, i have cried every time i have watched it and i cried watching your video. Pure love for Everything everywhere all at once. Literally changed me and keeps on changing me every time.
I have BEEN WAITING for you to make a video about this movie! I saw it in theaters when it came out, It IS a masterpiece. I feel like know one is talking about it so thank you for this video Trin! 🍩
I'm here because it recently swept Oscars, and i think it deserved every rewards and recognition it got. One of the best modern masterpiece i've seen in years. Besides an interesting theme done well (multiverse), over-the-top hilarious action sequences, great editing and heartwarming drama, it's philosophically thought-provoking too.
It tells the opposing approach to existentialism that questions our life's purpose and cripples most of us. Pessimistic nihilism vs. optimistic absurdism. The yinyang of everything bagel (black outside, white inside) vs google eyes (white outside, black inside). Empty void inside vs pure core inside. "Nothing matters so might as well die along with everything else" vs "Nothing matters so might as well enjoy life". Waymond taught Evelyn and us the latter.
This movie has got to be one of my favourite movies of this year and of all time to be honest for the exact same reasons you mentioned in the video. I remember watching this film after making up with my mum and just bawling my eyes out in the cinema at the scene where Evelyn and Joy make up in the parking lot. You have no idea how much I needed this video Trin, for giving me the reminder i needed and knowing that I am not alone in how I feel. This might have to be my favourite video you've met yet!
trin, this is such a quality video. all of your videos are. you are such a talented and introspective person, and it makes me love you and your content that much more. aside from your internet presence, i truly, truly hope you are alright. i related so much to the subtle •i don’t really wanna do this any more• type shit you said during this video, and i just want you to know that you have so much potential in this world and are so loved and appreciated
By the title alone: YES IT IS
Trin I always love your takes. This movie changed my life. I adore every second and I cry every time. I also saw it twice in theaters. I do want to say that when you read your notes you took, I also cried. But the song that was playing just gave me flash backs to Jamie Lee Curtis's feet.
i always have put so much pressure on myself to be perfect (though i know it's impossible) and this movie comforted me so much in reminding me that nothing truly matters so we can do anything. life doesn't have to mean anything. instead we can just live life each day and create for ourselves the meaning in it (though it's not required). because i am alive, and that's enough :)
I saw this movie in theaters with my MOM. we thought it was just a quirky comedy and when i tell you we were SOBBING. this movie changed my life.
I have to say I’ve never seen the movie but the way you spoke about it at the end still made me tear up as just hearing you describe it on a base level really hit me hard. You have brought me yet another movie that I feel as though I will resonate with on a truly personal level so I say thank you trin.
Same, girl same. I cried the whole last 20min of this movie in theaters and every time I watch a reactor. It's Bonkers Creative and Amazing and I hope it wins all the awards 🏆🥰 It's so impressive on so many levels. I recommend it to everyone. Like you said, it's a life changing experience 💕
Your initial review at the end beautifully encapsulates the feel of the film, and could easily be something written in a major critical publication. It made me emotional all over again.
AHHH OMG IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO REVIEW THIS IM GONNA GO CRY NOW. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
07:42 I really appreciate you putting in that funny effect with the budget. People keep saying it had a "small budget" but fail to realise that there are many sci-fis made with a tiny fraction of this film's budget. Like, honestly, it means so much to me! 😂
reliving this experience through this video was just everything (everywhere all at once) i need to rewatch it so bad 😭😭😭😭 also i just wanted to thank you for breaking down everything that i didn’t know how to put to words!! i didn’t know if i was overreacting when i cried in the theater watching the movie but watching this video made me cry again and made me feel all those emotions again
well I cried during the movie and this video as well. Tnx for making this video Trin, I relate to so many feelings of yours as well.
I keep on coming back to this video. I just love it so much
this movie did indescribable things to me, i need to see it for a fourth time
I’m so happy you love this movie!! It’s amazing
So seeing that you put a video out about this movie finally pushed me to watch it and oh my god! I cried so hard I felt like I couldn't breathe.
trin this is my favourite video ever of yours. I truly dont think a piece of cinema has ever moved me in this way it truly makes me feel everything everywhere all at once!!!!!!!
Triiiiiiiin your cry is so cuuute!!! I have such a weird relationship with my mom and totally felt your emotions. I couldn't help but notice how adorable you are! xD
I’ve watched it three times and sobbed every single time
Opens video, Trin is sobbing - I see what kind of reaction this will be😭❤️
