Film: Everything Everywhere All at Once (in 4K)

Filmmaking duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, known together as “the Daniels,” began helming wildly frenetic music videos before pivoting to independent feature films. Their second feature is a surrealist fantasy-science-fiction-action-comedy-drama about Chinese American laundromat owners Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh) and Waymond (Ke Huy Quan) and their daughter Joy (Stephanie Hsu) who learn they must explore the multiverse to save their universe. A runaway box office juggernaut for distributor A24 thanks to a post-peak-pandemic theatrical release that hit big with the youth market, the film is also a milestone for Asian and Asian American representation at the Academy Awards and won 7 of its 11 nominations.

DIRECTED/WRITTEN BY: Daniel Kwan, Daniel Scheinert. WITH: Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis. 2022. 139 min. USA. Color. English, Mandarin, Cantonese. Rated R. 4K DCP.
