I have been seeing a lot of A24 films lately and they vary in content but the quality is usually pretty high but this one... this one is jumps the shark in so many ways and so full of ... everything... it is in multiworld of it's own. I will watch Michelle Yeoh in anything, she never disappoints and she give a great comic but grounded performance in a movie with no ground at all under it's feet. After a short period of introduction it begins is frantic journey of a woman who starts to jump across the multiverse as she tries to settle her laundromat tax situation and keep her family together. It's funny, touching and I can't remember a film where I said "What the fuck?" so many times. David Lynch, eat your heart out fro weirdness, this story literally has it all, everywhere and at once. Your brain just can't hold all the stuff this throws at you.
It was a surprise hit, not Marvel multiverse hit territory but it goes places marvel never can and manages to do so on a 25 million dollar budget. It's effects are amazing but not out of control and don't need to be because you are so involved in what's happening and knocked off balance every few minutes with something more bizarre and so out there you never recover. For such concept it is a surprisingly human film, the characters are all great and Jamie Lee Curtis has such an over the top role that goes from comedic, to terrifying within an instant and then to a place where she is completely relatable and sympathetic.
There might be a universe where someone doesn't like this movie, but I do not want to go there. It's a revelation of a film.
