While it's only April and there are many films yet to unspool in 2022, I don’t know how Everything Everywhere All at Once won’t end up on my top ten list for the year. It could end up as my favorite film of the year.

Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert who are known, collectively, as Daniels, Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of the most original and inventive films I’ve ever seen. While I’d love for people to go in without knowing anything about the movie, it’s safe to say the film stars Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn, an exhausted Chinese American woman who can’t seem to finish her taxes. Over the course of the film, Evelyn goes on an adventure that explores the generational struggles of immigrant families while crossing over dimensional boundaries that could have been pulled out of the strangest comic book you’ve ever read. Yet it all makes sense. And it will make you laugh, think, and walk out of the theater wondering how the Daniels actually made this movie.

Again, Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of the best films you’ll see this year. And don’t just take my word for it. Read the reviews and go on Twitter to see what other people are saying. You’ll find a rare moment where film fans are united in a chorus of admiration at what the Daniels pulled off. The film also stars Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan (who is incredible), Jenny Slate, Harry Shum Jr., James Hong and Jamie Lee Curtis. The film was produced by Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Mike Larocca, Kwan, Scheinert and Jonathan Wang.
