The Best Picture of 2022 is…..”Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Confusion reigns, on purpose, in the comedy-drama film from directors-screenwriters Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (known as “the Daniels”). They deliberately blend and bend the conventional motion picture boundaries in this story of a Simi Valley, California, woman who is being audited by the IRS and finds out about different versions of herself in parallel universes who must all cooperate to prevent the destruction of the multiverse.
The Daniels incorporate elements of different film genres in this picture, including science fiction, fantasy, martial arts films, surreal comedy, and animation. The cast is headed by the talented Hollywood veteran Michelle Yeoh, who made her movie debut in 1984 and moved into stardom as a James Bond girl in “Tomorrow Never Dies” (1997). She had her work cut out for her in this film, playing different versions of her character, and pulls it off quite nicely. Co-stars include Jamie Lee Curtis, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Kwan, James Hong, Tallie Medel, Jenny Slate, and Harry Shum Jr.
The watchable “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was a hit at the box office for A24 Films, Gozie AGBO, and Key Line Entertainment. It was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, winning seven: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress (Yeoh), Best Supporting Actor (Kwan), Best Supporting Actress (Curtis), Best Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. The non-winners were Best Supporting Actress (Hsu), Best Original Score (Son Lux), Best Original Song (“This is a Life”: Ryan Lott, David Byrne, Mitski), and Best Costume Design. It was filmed in and around the Los Angeles area.
