Everything, Everywhere, All At Once is a supremely complicated Timothy Leary-esque LSD trip!<\/p>\n

As convoluted as the storyline (s) is\/are, just hang in there and it will all become crystal cloudy the deeper you go. It is a gross understatement to say Michelle Yeoh is fabulous, she is scintillating.<\/p>\n

And who knew that the little scamp from Indiana Jones was all grown up? Ke Huy Kuan delivers on all levels through his multiple incarnations (OK I could have said multi-faceted characterizations). Those two create a truly admirable yet highly dysfunctional couple desperately trying to find their reality!<\/p>\n

Did I overlook Jamie Lee Curtis? Not at all! I am sure her fans had no idea she could so deftly camouflage her natural beauty to create one of this year’s best-supporting characters! Yes I know, we all think of IRS agents as malevolent characters in a really bad B movie and Jamie certainly delivers on that!<\/p>\n

Do I think this is an Oscar-worthy movie? No. Do I think Yeoh is Oscar nomination worthy? Yes, and also Kuan. Giving it 4 stars. It is worth a trip to the theatre.<\/p>\n

Respectfully submitted, your erstwhile critic, Quoth the Maven, Always More.<\/p>\n
