Everything Everywhere All At Once

When a movie heavily relies on special effects and excessive martial arts, I sometimes ask a question: What is left of the film when the effects and the fighting are gone? What’s left if there’s only the story and dialogues between the characters? In “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” we find ourselves in a chaotic world full of opportunities, and yet here we are, estranged from our children, struggling to make ends meet. But with a little love and affection and kindness everything becomes more manageable. It’s as if the Headspace guy made a movie. Would that it were so simple.
