I love this movie. I had to rewatch it like 3 days after the first view so I could feel it in completely.
It's the same time a great, time traveling adventure, with a bonkers plot, comedy, and some truly insane sci-fi concepts, but, most importantly, it's about love, caring about the most important people in our lives, the tiny moments, that make up our most memorable memory, and, at the end of the day... depression.
Joy is depressed, she's overwhelmed, she's lost, and for most of the movie, the most important person in her life, her mom, doesn't seem to even care, or even acknowledge her presence sometimes. It's imo, an allegory for how we are constantly splitting our focus in a dozen different stuff nowadays, tying to be everywhere, but ending up been nowhere. She is stressed, and out of her mind, that she doesn't even realize what her daughter is going through. And, in a metaphorical way, she needs a interdimensional being to cross the multiverse, for her to finalize realize, she's losing her kid and to help her.
Of course, she doesn't do it alone, and, in figure of the father, Waymond, she learns that, she has to stopping fighting people, stop trying to change people, and actually, just be kind and give your love to the ones who need it, however they might need.
So, this movie is great, I loved it, as you might have noticed. It's so smart, funny, and out of the box completely with its concept, it's breaking of the fourth wall of sorts, and playing with the audience expectations a little bit too. Everyone is great in it, specially Stephanie Hsu and Key Huy Quan, who have to play multiple versions, completely different, from the same character, and they nail every single one of them. Michelle Yeoh is also really solid here, with by far the best performance I have seen from her.
Anyways, I love how it shines a light on mental health. And, at the end of the day the message is that the world is crazy, and most days, it probably doesn't make much sense, but... so what? We should enjoy the moments that do make sense, and share the found memories we have with our love ones.
To sum up, Everything Everywhere All At Once, is a great movie, with a complex story, with some serious underlining themes going on, if you want to see it, but at the same time, manages to be a crazy, and innovative movie about multiverses, with great action scenes, production value, and creative. Loved it, and highly recommend watching it. I would sum it up as Pixar movie, but in live action, and that, for me, it's one of the highest complements I could give a movie.
