“When an interdimensional rupture unravels reality, an unlikely hero must channel her newfound powers to fight bizarre and bewildering dangers from the multiverse as the fate of the world hangs in the balance.”

Sheesh. What a wild ride. All my senses were assaulted in the best possible way.

Everything everywhere all at once hits the ground running within the first few scenes. Over the course of two hours this powerful tale spins bigger and wider and denser and faster. The outlandish costumes and vivid colours, crazy scenes and wild settings, the utter tragedy and fabulous action and edgy comedy in just one scene, and the jumping between lives and characters, is mesmerising. I had no idea where the film was going, or how directors Kwan and Scheinert were going to distil the crazy, colourful madness into something coherent and meaningful.

Then they just do it. Within a few scenes. They had complete control over every narrative strand, every hairstyle, and every costume. They masterfully pull it back from the brink and give you such a simple and haunting message. (Not spoiling what it is.) The clarity is even more powerful than the chaos, although the chaos is what makes the clarity so perfect.

All five leads – the mother (legendary Michelle Yeoh) and father (understated Ke Huy Quan), the daughter (mesmerising Stephanie Hsu), the grandfather (stalwart James Hong) and the crazy IRS lady (hilarious Jamie Lee Curtis) – were simply perfectly cast and delivered pitch perfect performances.

More, please.
