Inside 2022’s sleeper smash
How eccentric, ideaspacked indie EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE proved that original stories can still hit big
YOU’D HAVE TO have been living under a googly-eyed rock not to notice all the praise being lavished on the Michelle Yeoh-starring multiversal action comedy Everything Everywhere All At Once. Not only has it verse-jumped out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth box-office hit (making more than $50 million worldwide since its US debut on 25 March), but it’s also earned some big-name fans.
“Skilful, smart, beautifully shot and profoundly moving,” said Guillermo del Toro.
“An emotional rollercoaster of action, comedy and metaphysical mindfuckery that hits a sugar high for its entire running time,” enthused Edgar Wright. “Less is not always more. Sometimes more is more,” tweeted Pachinko director Kogonada. “See Everything Everywhere All At Once. A triumph of the more.”
