The film stars Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, James Hong, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jenny Slate and Harry Shum Jr.Meet Evelyn Wang (Yeoh), a middle-aged Chinese American laundromat owner trying to survive tax season. One day, in the middle of a meeting about paperwork at the IRS office, she's suddenly whisked away and split between two alternate realities. It turns out that there's something threatening the very fate of what she discovers to be the multiverse, and she may be the only chance of stopping it. Peering into other universes, Evelyn can gain the experiences, memories, and emotions of her alternate selves and use those to her advantage. With her extraordinary new powers, she becomes an incredibly skilled — albeit reluctant — heroine.The film premiered at the South by Southwest festival on March 11, 2022, followed by a limited release on March 25 and a wide release on April 8 by A24.The trailer can be viewed here.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_11e0d645	type	Arc Symbol
Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_11e0d645	comment	Arc Symbol: A heavy black circle with a hole in the middle. It first appears in the laundromat at the start, as Joy focuses on a washer filled entirely with black clothes, and comes up again later when Deirdre draws a heavy circle in pen around a receipt for a karaoke machine that Evelyn wrote off as a business expense. It later factors heavily into anything connected to Jobu Tupaki. Her "minions" all wear the symbol on their foreheads in some way. It turns out to symbolize the artifact Jobu Tupaki created: a truly "Everything" Bagel. The Googly Eyes, which Waymond puts on things sometimes, and which become a symbol of his outlook of trying to find joy and happiness in little things. It also forms the yang to the Everything Bagel's yin; the Everything Bagel is a black circle, with a white center, while the Googly Eye is a white circle with a black center, symbolizing how Waymond's anti-nihilism counters Jobu Tupaki's nihilism.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Many critics have pointed out that the "hot dog fingers" universe subplot can be interpreted as a metaphor for homosexual relationships viewed from the perspective of a homophobe. Evelyn, a fairly close-minded person, is continuously horrified of the hot dog finger universe because of the unique nature of their courtship rituals. She views it as unnatural or disgusting, even though she's married to Deirdre in this universe and the two of them seem really happy together. Over the course of the movie, Evelyn comes to realize that the hot dog universe isn't bad at all, and that even though it seems gross on the surface, they're very similar to the mainline universe. They even have a Chekhov's Skill she borrows from them in the climax: being incredibly skilled with their toes.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_1994ba0b	comment	Gone Horribly Right: Alphaverse Evelyn hoped to exploit her Joy's high aptitude for Verse-Jumping by pushing her beyond her limits. She succeeded, but the mental strain of experiencing every alternate reality at the same time drove her insane and filled with a desire to corrupt Evelyn's mind the same way. Jobu Tupaki's plan for Evelyn is to get Evelyn to peer into the Everything Bagel to get her to the same nihilistic mindset as she does. Evelyn's plan to save her daughter from just after the one-third mark — once she understands who Jobu is — is to do this, only with Waymond at her side convincing her to remain kind through it all. This creates an Evelyn who understands Jobu's mindset like Jobu wanted, but sees the good enough to counter every nihilistic point Jobu Tupaki offers with an equally anti-nihilistic point.

The Alphaverse resistance has some way of bringing along the verse jumping earpieces and Gong Gong's tricked-out wheelchair, but Jobu Tupaki has them all beat in sheer, casual excess.

The hibachi chef universe also has one beyond Evelyn's skills with a knife, as her piloting Chad like Raccacoonie did is repeated with "our" universe's Chad. Googly eyes. They're initially shown in the first scene as evidence of Waymond's Bumbling Dad personality when he sticks it on everything, and Evelyn's more serious personality when she takes them down, but they then become: Evelyn's third eye when she reaches 'enlightenment' (aka mastery of multiverse hopping). Waymond's ability to find joy in the small things, which becomes key to saving the multiverse from Jobu Tupaki. The anti-Everything Bagel, because of its inverted color scheme (black in white to the Bagel's white in black). Evelyn is only able to fight against the Bagel once she fully embraces the silly joy the Eyes give. A way for a rock-Evelyn to show she assigns value to her perception, creates meaning for her experience and, as a result, cares. And finally, symbolism for Evelyn's Character Development, when big googly eyes start appearing in the apartment at the end of the film.

One version of her sells out her husband to the IRS, signs the divorce papers, and breaks the laundromat windows with a bat; the movie star Evelyn coldly tells her Waymond that she would never have a happy life with him; hotdog finger Evelyn breaks up with her partner Deirdre; and the teppanyaki chef Evelyn reveals her rival chef's secret and gets Raccacoonie taken away by animal control. Played literally by Debbie the Dog Mom, who at one point kicks her dog while it's on a leash to make it into an Epic Flail.

This gives her godlike capabilities alongside Reality Warping powers, essentially turning her into a Physical God. However, she is still human, and her current breakdown is motivated by the very human emotions of betrayal and self-hatred caused by the Alphaverse version of Evelyn. Also, she's constantly experiencing snippets of various lives, unable to have one of her own, or truly experiencing any of them for any period of time.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_392372f9	comment	Actor Allusion: Alpha Waymond beats up a bunch of mooks with a fanny pack, echoing his actor Ke Huy Quan's role in The Goonies: Data, a boy with a gadget belt. It's also worth noting that that character also had the surname "Wang." Evelyn learns kung fu from an Alternate Self who became a celebrity by starring in action films ... just like Michelle Yeoh, her actress. Real-life footage of Yeoh at red carpets is even used to introduce that world. Googly eyes are a recurring visual element in the film. One of James Hong's most memorable roles was as Hannibal Chew, the creator of genetic eyes, in Blade Runner. James Hong also spends most of his screentime in a mechanized wheelchair, much like one of his other iconic roles, David Lo Pan in Big Trouble in Little China. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, during a rapid-fire montage of many of Evelyn's alternate selves, one of them is wearing what looks like a classic Star Trek: The Original Series blue uniform. Phillipa Georgiou, anyone?

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_6a1c2a6	comment	Cosmic Horror Story: Discussed in-universe and played with in general. When her mind splinters into experiencing the entire multiverse all at once, Jobu Tupaki comes to the conclusion that it's first and foremost scary simply for being the first human being to go through something like that, and a big part of her supposed evil comes from the nihilism this has caused. The Bagel itself is virtually unknowable but looks incredibly unpleasant to experience first-hand. Also, when Evelyn confronts Jobu for the first time, accusing her of being the reason Joy is gay, Jobu responds that the universe is so much bigger than Evelyn realizes, highlighting Joy's sexuality is one small insignificant detail in a much bigger, frightening grand picture, and proceeds to prove her point by turning the flickering lights of the hallway off as the horrific sounds of other terrifying dimensions we never get to see permeate the darkness.

Evelyn walks slowly toward Joy, with Joy nervously asking Evelyn what she's doing. Evelyn raises the blade ... and cuts through the tape. Waymond hilariously complains that he was almost done unwrapping it. Evelyn trying to explain what's going on to her family by referencing a movie also has shades of this. Up until that point, the story has contained numerous references to The Matrix, with Evelyn even being called The One and receiving kung-fu powers; the particular danger they're facing at this moment is an enemy who can leap into Joy's body at any time, much like the agents in The Matrix. So, of course Evelyn says that it's just like in that film, you know the one, and takes several moments to finally land on ... Ratatouille. Which has basically nothing whatsoever to do with anything that happened so far, and which, on top of this, she misremembers as Raccacoonie.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Frequently overlaps with Brick Joke. The very first scene of the film is a shot of the bookshelf in the Wangs' living room, which features a raccoon doll, a sketch of a black circle on a paper, and googly eyes. All of these foreshadow later plot developments in the film: the raccoon hints at Raccaccoonie, the black circle is an obvious representation of the Everything Bagel, and the googly eyes represent the idealistic counterpart of the Everything Bagel. Very early on in the film, after having Waymond bring the clothes down from the apartment, she remarks to Joy, "I don't know how your father would've survived without me." In another universe, we see exactly what happens to Waymond without Evelyn in Alphaverse and Movieverse. He can survive without her, but he prefers to survive with her. On the way to the IRS building, we see a man twirling a pizza sign. In another universe, Evelyn works as a sign twirler, and uses that skill with a riot shield to defend Waymond and Joy. Alpha Waymond and Evelyn hide in a meeting room where the camera noticeably lingers on an everything bagel. Everything bagels become a very important plot point. Jobu Tupaki's followers are shown with a black circle drawn on their foreheads. It symbolizes the Everything Bagel that she created, the product of her broken sanity that can destroy the multiverse. Deirdre hints at a soft spot for Evelyn early on, commenting that it's unlike her to give Evelyn a final chance. One of the improbable things Evelyn has to do to get access to a variant's abilities is to proclaim her love for Deirdre and mean it. In the universe where everyone has hot dogs for fingers, Evelyn and Deirdre are shown to be married. It's easy to miss, but when Evelyn is first trying to shift between the burner universe in the janitor's closet and her audit, Deirdre complains, "It's like talking to my ex-husband." Deirdre being divorced leads to her empathizing with Evelyn and granting the Wangs one more chance at the end of the movie. Early on in the film, Evelyn and Waymond have a One Dialogue, Two Conversations exchange about their divorce proceedings — Evelyn is talking to Waymond assuming he's his Alphaverse counterpart, while Waymond is assuming all the hurtful things his wife is saying about him are in the context of the divorce papers. The climax of the film is Evelyn taking this trope to its natural conclusion and having conversations with several versions of Jobu Tupaki and her husband about different topics at the same time, ultimately resolving all of her lingering feelings towards them through their multiple different lives. As Evelyn watched the Bollywood movie play out in the laundromat at the start of the movie, Waymond in the background mentions that one of their customers he was chatting to wants to be an actor, "just like you." Later in the movie, we jump to a verse where Evelyn does become a famous actress. Alpha Waymond explains the mind is like a clay pot holding water; every jump opens a crack that needs to be resealed, or the mind can shatter, as happened to Jobu Tupaki. Evelyn deliberately cracks herself in the same way, becoming her equal. When Chad is first introduced in his life as a teppanyaki grill chef, we can see a raccoon tail coming out from the base of his hat. Also, Evelyn's insistence that Ratatouille is called "Raccacoonie" also builds up to this universe. Evelyn turns out to have marked down the purchase of a karaoke machine as a business expense, and Waymond tries to get her out of trouble by mentioning that she's a great singer. One of the universes shown and used later is one where Evelyn is a blind opera singer.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_a1a1491e	comment	Homage: The "raccacoonie" universe where Chad is controlled by a raccoon who helps him cook is a straightforward one to Ratatouille. The universe where Evelyn is a famous actress is a twofer: The Training Montage where she becomes a master martial artist trained by a mysterious silver-haired mentor (think Pai Mei in Kill Bill) is a homage to the kung-fu films of the '70s and '80s. The rest of this 'verse is an homage to Wong Kar-wai's movies, with cinematography that makes heavy use of Wong's Signature Style — many slow-mo shots during quick action sequences, frame-within-frame blocking, and lots of negative space. The plot of this world ends with her and Waymond having a deep conversation in an alleyway at night, with the moody lighting, colorful cinematography, and yearning dialogue echoing In the Mood for Love.note Ke Huy Quan, who plays Waymond in that scene, brought his experience working with Wong on-set, having worked as the assistant director for 2046. At the climax, there is a brief scene of Evelyn and Jobu Tupaki fighting on a subway platform, with the latter trying to push Evelyn into the path of a train and maliciously calling her by her first name (rather than "Mom"). This is pretty overtly modeled on a similar scene in The Matrix. The "hot dog hands universe" is introduced with a flashback to the dawn of man that is a clear spoof of 2001: A Space Odyssey's famous opening sequence, complete with a very off-key version of "Also sprach Zarathustra." Alphaverse Waymond fighting off security guards using a fanny pack is a tribute to Jackie Chan fight scenes that make heavy use of improvised weaponry.

It's heavily implied Alpha Gong Gong wasn't much different and nagged Evelyn to keep running experiments, which resulted in Jobu Tupaki mass-murdering the multiverse. Evelyn herself of the Protagonist Verse is emotionally distant and verbally abusive to her family, to the point that Joy tells Becky that criticism and insults are her mother's way of showing affection. She gets worse in Return Home verse. Both get better by the end of the film due to their experiences, setting her to Parents as People territory. Evelyn of the Alphaverse was relentless about pushing her daughter to extensively verse-jump, which fractured Alpha Joy's mind and led to her becoming Jobu Tupaki, a nihilistic Death Seeker. It is no surprise that Jobu killed her.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_bd2812b5	comment	Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: An interesting variant with Jobu Tupaki. Due to being split across reality, Jobu Tupaki exists everywhere, all at once. This gives her godlike capabilities alongside Reality Warping powers, essentially turning her into a Physical God. However, she is still human, and her current breakdown is motivated by the very human emotions of betrayal and self-hatred caused by the Alphaverse version of Evelyn. Also, she's constantly experiencing snippets of various lives, unable to have one of her own, or truly experiencing any of them for any period of time. Midway into the film, Evelyn gets her consciousness split across timelines the same as Jobu Tupaki. However, she goes through an extended I Am What I Am realization through understanding her husband and daughter and vows to be better. This allows her to draw from her alternate lifepaths without needing to do something random, turning her into a true Master of All and letting her fight Jobu Tupaki on even ground. Except she chooses not to fight, but to drag Jobu and her minions out of their Despair Event Horizon by reminding them of all the good that exists in the universe.

This is especially exemplified in why "our" Evelyn is The Chosen One to defeat Jobu Tupaki; she might be the biggest failure out of every Evelyn in the known multiverse, but it's because of her being at rock bottom that she can reach into all the other universes where she lives much better and successful lives and grab from a nearly unlimited source of skills to fight and even save her enemies. Near the end in the Return Home Universe, Diedre confides in Evelyn that they're both "unlovable bitches" who make the world go around. Evelyn rejects her claim and assures her that she isn't unlovable, which sets up their new friendship. Evelyn neutralizes all Alphaverse soldiers not by violence, but by drawing on her alternate selves to help solve their hang-ups, ranging from unrequited romance to back pain. Their joy is enough to get them to disengage from fighting.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Arrival for the mind-shattering exposure to a round, black shape of alien origins, along with becoming an Anti-Nihilist due to it. The opening sequence with the apes of 2001: A Space Odyssey is parodied in the hot-dog universe. Alpha Gong Gong drives a super-powered wheelchair driven by a coffee-maker, just like the DeLorean and its Mr. Fusion in Back to the Future Part II. As in The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, the cobbled-together interdimensional vehicle drives through a desert, heading straight for a rock wall in one shot. During the Pre-Ending Credits, Jobu Tupaki is wearing a costume heavily based on Black Lady. While Jobu Tupaki is explaining her side to Evelyn, she emphasizes a point Evelyn is having trouble accepting by manifesting a picture book about it, with artwork in the style of Dr. Seuss. At the start of the movie, the number for Debbie the Dog Mom's laundry bag (and the bag which Evelyn yells at Joy and Waymond for putting googly eyes on) is 042. 42 is "the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything" in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The Everything Bagel and its mind-shattering properties are also reminiscent of the Total Perspective Vortex from the books (but on a multi-versal rather than universal scale), and the weird actions taken by the characters to gain access to their counterparts' skillsets also remind of the concept of "infinite improbability". The scene where Jobu Tupaki channels a number of alternate selves and brutally dispatches a number of guards while wearing outlandish costumes and basically acting like a cartoon character can be seen as a dark parody of The Mask, or even a nod to the much more violent original comic books. One part of the scene is even underscored by zany cartoon sound effects. One of Evelyn's mispronunciations of Jobu Tupaki's name is "Juju Chewbacca". The movie has alternative posters based on some of the most recurring different realities as if they themselves represent different movies, which seem to be inspired by other movies. The sausage hand universe poster, "Amour et Saucisses", seems to be inspired by Blue Is the Warmest Color, which is also a Queer Romance. The "Evelyn as a movie star" universe poster, "Fractured Personas", seems to be based on In the Mood for Love, a Chinese romance drama movie with a famous all-red background poster and the title in both Chinese and English. The Rock universe poster, Rocks, is fashioned after a National Geographic Channel documentary, with the A24 logo changed to emulate the other company logo.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_cd3703a2	type	Genre Mashup
Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_cd3703a2	comment	Genre Mashup: The movie really lives up to its title's promise of everything. It's an absurdist Black Comedy, a heartfelt Dysfunctional Family drama, a sci-fi adventure, a cosmic horror movie, an Affectionate Parody of martial art films, a surreal Mind Screw experiment, a poignant arthouse thriller, and a fun popcorn movie all at the same time. The film has been more succinctly summarized as a Science Fiction story about a potential multiversal war while at its core being a Family Drama about a mother trying to manage a struggling business, a failing marriage, and tense relationships with her father and daughter. And there is a strong comedic overtone, mostly of the surreal kind — the "jump to an Alternate Self" mechanic requires a character doing something that would be completely unexpected if not senseless for them. The various alternate universes provide extra genre toppings. Waymond can defeat a group of guards with nothing but a fanny pack as in comic martial arts films, many of the fights pull on wuxia and kung-fu films, while a whole universe is a straight-up homage to the animated comedy Ratatouille.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_d148b019	comment	Mundane Made Awesome: The directors have stated that part of their preparation for the movie was watching "competency porn," basically just videos of people doing fairly everyday things but doing them really, really well. They liked the idea of showcasing these skills rather than just having Evelyn, for instance, tap into a CIA agent and turn into a generic super-badass. Half the skills Evelyn uses to fight are weird mundane utilities she gets from perfectly ordinary jobs, like a sign spinner or a hibachi cook. The symbol of nihilism is a bagel, while the googly eyes is its opposite. One can summarize this film as a spat between a mother and daughter with a strained relationship. Quite heartbreaking in paper and throughout the film, it is. But it just so happens that it is fought and eventually resolved by Reality Warper universe-jumping sci-fi shenanigans.

CEO Waymond never married Evelyn and eventually became successful and rich. Despite all this, his continued carrying of a torch for Evelyn made him just as much The Anti-Nihilist as Protagonist and Return Home Waymond, expounding basically the same philosophy as those versions of him.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_d44ea142	comment	You Are Not Alone: The theme of the film. Jobu Tupaki is obsessed with finding an Evelyn who will become like her, so she won't be alone anymore. Return Home Joy has her family reunited in their acceptance of Becky, with them becoming a stronger whole because of it. Protagonist Waymond is so desperate to reconnect with Evelyn and remind his family that they are a family that he's willing to threaten to divorce Evelyn in order to get her undivided attention once and for all. Alphaverse Waymond continues jumping in his post-apocalyptic world solely so that Joy and Evelyn will no longer be alone and so he can find an Evelyn who can save his daughter. Even in death, he celebrates every moment he spends with Evelyn. Gong Gong of the Alphaverse forgoes his entire crusade of actively trying to murder Jobu Tupaki when he uses his Powered Armor wheelchair to help his entire family pull Joy out of the Everything Bagel. In every version, Deirdre finds out she's not alone emotionally. In the Sausage Verse she reconnects with her spouse Evelyn, in the Alphaverse she's reminded of the joy of living by Protagonist Evelyn, and in the Return Home Verse she finds love and sympathy over her divorce in Waymond and Evelyn. On a smaller scale, the Return Home-verse shows the Wang's Chinese New Year party going smoothly, with various customers showing up for the festivities, even the seemingly dismissive and self-absorbed "Big Nose". For as much as Evelyn believes the place to be emblematic of her failures in life, the laundromat clearly brings people together. Even more so when it's where Evelyn reconciles with Waymond, Deirdre, and Joy, and stands up to Gong Gong, earning his respect. Chad of the Raccoonverse thinks of himself as having been weak until he met his raccoon companion, and Evelyn herself finds connection and enlightenment through her attempts to undo her sabotage and reunite the two. Jumping in general. We become more powerful by connecting with versions of ourselves who made different choices, even the wrong ones.

Naturally, this means there are universes where the supernatural, magic and sci-fi exist. As we see various versions of Evelyn having existential crises in alternate timelines, we see brief flashes of an alien Evelyn standing in front of floating pyramids, an ogre-like Evelyn in a desert-looking world, an anime Evelyn in a futuristic city, an Evelyn with entirely black eyes crying black tears in a starless void, a pale Edwardian Evelyn that looks like she was crafted from marble, a version of Evelyn wearing a gas mask in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a talking raccoon who helps a man learn how to cook, a universe that looks like a children's drawing, a universe where everyone has hot dogs for fingers that ejaculate ketchup and mustard in each others' mouths, and so so so much more. That's not even getting into the fact that Jobu Tupaki is essentially a living goddess who exists across all of space and time and can make whatever she so much as thinks about into something tangible, able to manipulate atoms and matter into whatever she wants on a whim. The implications of this are both hilarious and frightening.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_f64a9cf7	comment	Earn Your Happy Ending: Evelyn goes through arguably the worst day of her life, is shot at, struck, cut, harassed, and driven to the absolute limits of what her brain can handle ... and walks away from it having repaired her relationships with her daughter, husband, and father. The film ends with Evelyn at peace for the first time in the entire film, and as she zones out, she begins hearing the whispers of alternate realities ...

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_fd16495f	comment	Answer Cut: An incredulous Alphaverse observer wonders what path evolution could've followed to result in humans with hotdog fingers. Cut to a scene thousands of years ago in a homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey, complete with an off-key rendition of "Also sprach Zarathustra", where a proto-human with hotdog fingers kills a regular-fingered proto-human and whoops in triumph. Alphaverse Waymond reports that, according to his readings, Jobu Tupaki isn't inhabiting Joy anymore. His handler in the Alphaverse then asks, if Jobu Tupaki isn't in the Protagonist Verse anymore, then where is she? The camera then turns, revealing her to be right in front of their truck in the Alphaverse.

Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_fe0330fb	type	Brick Joke
Everything Everywhere All at Once / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: One of the more obvious ones is when Evelyn tries to describe the film Ratatouille but keeps calling it "Raccacoonie" and describes the titular animal as a raccoon, sparking rancorous laughter from her husband and daughter. While the audience might initially assume that Evelyn is simply struggling with the English language in that moment, it is later revealed that in an alternate reality, Evelyn witnessed a co-worker chef being controlled by a raccoon in a similar way as seen in Ratatouille. Thus the issue wasn't that Evelyn's English skills were limited to the extent she could not identify mammals correctly, but that she might have limited knowledge of Disney movies and have actually SEEN the controlling happen. Evelyn says to Joy at the beginning, to deflect from actually being there for her daughter, "you need to eat healthier; you are getting fat." Joy leaves. A whole 45 minutes further into the film, and what's the first thing Jobu Topaki says to Evelyn when they're in the same room for the first time since then? "Don't worry, Evelyn! It's organic!" At the start of the movie, Joy explains to Becky that nagging Joy about her appearance is Evelyn's way of showing she cares. In the last scene, Evelyn tells Becky that she thinks Becky needs to grow out her undercut.

Evelyn attempts to tell Waymond about the amazing life she had in a universe where she never ran away with him to America, but instead drives him to tears as she gushes about how great her life would have been without him.
