The Movie At The End of The Universe - - Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022, USA, 139 min) - -20 February 2023

Recommended. With eleven Oscar noms, Everything Everywhere All At Once should be an overwhelming experience. It’s certainly a sensory and narrative assault; however, the message of these loud parts - - that we need to be nicer to each other - - gets a bit garbled. Daniel Kwan with Daniel Scheinert - - collectively known as "the Daniels" - - directed and wrote the movie. Imagine Charlie Kaufman and Douglas Adams collaborating on Interstellar; you get the gist. Must say, the acting of Michelle Yeoh (Crazy Rich Asians) and Ke Huy Quan (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) - - as a couple beset by both the IRS and cosmic nihilism - - is worthy of a nod and arguments could also be made for Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween) and Stephanie Hsu (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel). Any of the technical award nominations, particularly Paul Rogers’s editing, are also solid. However, the story is a little long and occasionally over the top.
