Michelle Yeoh travels between parallel realities in a frenzied but exhausting fantasy comedy that has taken the American box office by storm.
The title already warns that we are dealing with another film. Even the name of the directors, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, signed by Daniels, indicates the originality of the proposal. ‘Everything at once everywhere’ begins as a comedy of ways to suddenly introduce us to the land of the fantastic. More specifically in the metaverse, that parallel universe that plays so much in Marvel tapes and that isn’t as spectacular here, although it is much more fun.
Michelle Yeoh, the Asian superstar discovered by the global public thanks to ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’ and ‘Tiger and Dragon’, comes across as unappealing as a Chinese immigrant to the United States who runs a run-down laundry and settles for a father who don’t speak a word of english and a lesbian daughter. Her husband, quirky but stupid, will ring a bell: It’s Ke Huy Quan, the kid from ‘The Goonies’ and ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’.
The visit to an embittered tax inspector, played by an ugly Jamie Lee Curtis, will unleash a journey through time and between parallel realities. It is advisable to be forewarned and let yourself be carried away by a madness in which anything can happen: flashes of lives that the protagonist could have led, also as a sophisticated movie star, in a nod to Yeoh himself, martial arts fights, fantastic universes, sausage-shaped fingers and two rocks reflecting in the middle of a desert.
“‘Everything Everywhere’ is fast, furious and chaotic,” describes Michelle Yeoh. “It’s like pop art and pop music, where everything happens at the same time. But it’s also very much the world that all millennials are used to: with the internet, information overload, constant acceleration. Beauty comes when you leave the cinema and think, to you look around and discover that the world is as chaotic as what the story represents.
The actress is correct in predicting that the younger audience living on the Internet will enjoy the avalanche of script twists and screenplays of a movie that can exhaust the unannounced viewer who is simply waiting for a comedy or martial arts movie. His success at the Yankee box office confirms it.
