Everything Everywhere All at Once

An American science fiction action comedy film released in 2021, directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. The story centers on Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh), a middle-aged Chinese-American immigrant who owns a laundromat and is facing a family crisis. Her husband, Waymond (Ke Huy Quan), is planning to file for divorce, and her relationship with their daughter, Joy (Stephanie Hsu), is strained due to Joy's homosexuality and new partner. During a visit to the IRS, where inspector Deirdre Beaubeirdre (Jamie Lee Curtis) threatens to shut down their business over tax issues, Evelyn unexpectedly learns about the existence of the multiverse—a multitude of parallel worlds where she leads various lives. An alternate version of her husband from another universe warns her of an impending threat posed by Jobu Tupaki, a destructive entity capable of annihilating all worlds. Evelyn must harness the skills of her alternate selves from other universes to confront this menace and save not only her family but the entire multiverse. The film blends elements of action, comedy, and science fiction, exploring themes of family, identity, and the infinite possibilities of choice.
