The comedy-drama film Everything Everywhere All At Once is set to grace our television screens this weekend, promising a delightful experience for fans.
The storyline revolves around a Chinese-American immigrant who, during an IRS audit, realises she must connect with alternate universe versions of herself to thwart a powerful entity from annihilating the multiverse.
Michelle Yeoh takes centre stage as the protagonist, Evelyn Quan Wang, alongside Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis and James Hong. The film is directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert and produced by the Russo brothers.
Everything Everywhere All at Once made its debut at South by Southwest in March 2022 before enjoying a limited theatrical release in the US. The film was a massive hit upon release, raking in $143.4 million against a $143.25 million budget, reports the Manchester Evening News.
It became A24’s highest-grossing film and bagged several awards, including seven out of eleven Oscar nominations, such as Best Picture, Best Actress for Michelle and Best Supporting Actress for Jamie. The film also clinched two Golden Globe Awards, five Critics Choice Awards, a BAFTA award and a record four SAG Awards.
The movie boasts a 7.8 rating on IMDb based on 560,000 votes and a 94% rating on Tomatometer making it a certified hit with audiences. For those yet to catch it, it will be shown on Channel 4 tonight (December 7) at 10.15pm and will subsequently be available on 4OD for viewers to catch up later.
Reddit has become a hub for film buffs to share their candid thoughts, with one user posting: “The first movie I’ve watched in a long time where I genuinely had nothing to compare it to.
“A true original in its execution and novelty. It’s not for everyone, and requires some engagement; but hang in there, it’s worth it!”.
Another enthusiast chimed in with high praise: “This easily became my favourite movie of all time. Just as funny and fun as it is heartwrenching and beautiful. The acting and characters are superb. This is one I’ll likely watch every time they put it in theatres again.”
A third fan reflected on the film’s lasting impact: “I love this movie just as much as I did when I first watched it at in the theatre. It’s one of the best, most interesting and poignant yet goofiest films I’ve ever seen. 10/10, must watch.”
Everything Everywhere All At Once airs on Saturday at 10:15pm on Channel 4 and 4OD
