The trippy 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' transports SXSW to the hot dog-fingered multiverse
Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the duo behind the equally baffling, specialize in weird projects that defy straightforward explanation. But it will likely not surprise fans of the pair that gave us The Surprisingly Earnest Farting Corpse Movie to learn that this stunning new film, too, asks a deceptively juvenile question: “What if Chekhov’s gun were a butt plug?”
As if these problems weren’t enough, Evelyn now faces a much bigger task: saving the multiverse. She must learn to ricochet from one timeline to another, embodying all of her various selves and using their skills, to save existence from a terrifying entity unstuck in time and space.
Kwan and Scheinert, collectively known as “Daniels,” were best known for their music videos until their feature debut,inspired awe and consternation at the Sundance Film Festival in 2016. The two also once collaborated on an interactive short film with anDuality is a cornerstone of these directors’ work, which styles itself as delightfully unsubtle while using playground humor and off-the-wall gags as vehicles for existential commentary.
Yeoh, by the way, is just one of several heavy hitters in this ensemble. The legendary James Hong plays her father, while Ke Huy Quan—perhaps best known until now as Short Round from—delivers a jaw-dropping performance as her husband, Waymond. These performances unfold in an immaculately shot world replete with visual treats. Just like the clutter in Evelyn’s psyche, each shot feels packed with details one might revisit again and again, like an “I Spy” book.
