A FILM REVIEW

B. Read this review of the film EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE and answer the questions.

Everything Everywhere All at Once is an action, comedy and drama movie written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. Stars Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Stepehany Hsu and Jamie Lee Curtis. An audit of Evelyn's laundromat triggers a heroic journey through alternate universes where the only constant is her. She must face a great treat and save the multiverse.

Evelyn Wang is going through the motions of life in trying to achieve some sort of fulfillment, which she may or may not admit to herself she has been so far unsuccessful in achieving at almost any level. She and her husband Waymond Wang own and operate a laundromat, and while she loved him when they were first married - she marrying him against her judgmental father's advice - she now feels that he is a weak man whose messes she has to fix.

Her and Waymond's only offspring, young adult Joy Wang, has turned into a version of her in pulling away in not feeling any love or respect from her and as such being aimless in life. What may be the pinnacle of the mother/daughter problems is that Joy has not only brought her girlfriend Becky into their lives. Conversely,

Evelyn's life could have been so much more if she made different choices or followed through with any of the many other things she started. On top of everything as they prepare a Chinese New Year's Eve party under the pressure of trying to meet the exacting standards of her father, she and Waymond are in the middle of an IRS audit, their auditor hard-nosed Deirdre Beaubeirdre. As Evelyn and Waymond enter into what is supposed to be their final "show me the proper paperwork or else" meeting with Deirdre, Evelyn will physically and metaphysically enter into alternate universes, where she not only has to make the right choices to save the collective universe, but arguably more importantly come to a true understanding of herself.
