Everything Everywhere All at Once

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert · 2022 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

A laundromat owner is being audited, her marriage is quietly ending and her daughter has stopped explaining herself, when a version of her husband from another universe tells her in a lift that she is the only one who can stop a being that has experienced every life at once. Learning to fight means borrowing skills from the lives she did not choose. Hot dog fingers, a rock on a cliff, and a tax inspector.
