‘All at once’: When is the film available for streaming?

If 2022 wasn’t weird and existential enough, it exists more than one film about the multiverse coming out this year. It is a conceit that enjoys the idea of ​​our connection to an infinite number of parallel universes with infinite possibilities, with other versions of ourselves living differently, but not necessarily better lives.

This is a concept that A24 All Everywhere embraces all at once with all its heart. The exuberance and excitement shown through the beautifully shot walk of the film through the multiverse is a real spectacle of strangeness and joy. In my eyes, it is the definitive multiverse film and one of the best films of 2022.

And now it has a release date for streaming. Everything everywhere Everything at once is now available for transmission at home. You can buy it from digital retailers such as Amazon, Apple TV, Google Play and Voodoo for $ 20. When it comes to renting? The film will be available for rent from July 5. Blu-ray, 4K Blu-ray and DVD sales begin on July 5th. Blu-ray is now available for presale for $ 15.

Best Multiverse Film 2022

U Marvel’s Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madnessthe film continues to jump dimensions Spider-Man: No way home for further expansion Marvel movie universe and his influence in pop culture. However, All Everywhere, All at once, uses the concept of the multiverse to focus on the story of a family just trying to get through the tax season – and save many universes in the process.

The film begins with Evelyn Wang (played by Michelle Yeoh) trying to sort out her life and her failed laundry business before heading to the tax office. As she copes with stress, taxes, and reconciles with her family, the body of her husband Waymond (played by Key Huy Quan) is abducted by the parallel Waymond universe. According to another Waymond, the multiverse is on the verge of collapse due to the interdimensional being seeking this version of Evelyn. As it turns out, THIS Evelyn is not a special choice, but the incarnation of Evelyn “who lives the worst of you.”

I try not to spoil the beginning of the film, because the less you know, the better. After the introductory 20 minutes, a spectacular action comedy follows a film that channels the Matrix, but with the style of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and a swing similar to James Cameron’s Terminator. However, this film is not a pastiche of classic sci-fi, but these influences unite into a whole that seems completely original.

First of all, the film shows a great fondness for Asian cinema from the 1990s, especially the works of Jackie Chan and Wong-Kar Wai. The action scenes are choreographed in the spirit of classic action movies such as Super Cop and Police Story, which are all stunning depictions of physical comedy and kung fu action. But more dramatic scenes channel quiet and intimate moments from movies like Wong-Kar Wai’s In The Mood for Love or Chungking Express. All of this, along with allusions to Western fiction, seem like different elements, but it all adds up to a mix that is so exciting and touching to develop.

The real center of the film is Michelle Yeoh. In the film All, All at Once, she provides a flawless portrayal as an ordinary middle-aged naturalized citizen of America who dreams of what life might look like if she made different decisions.

This idea is the hook of the film and we see some really bizarre moments where Evelyn steps into another life and gathers skills and knowledge along the way. On a meta-level, this film highlights Yeoh’s career as an international film star and icon, adding even more weight to her performance. There has never been a film like this in which Yeoh effortlessly flexes his muscles of comedy, drama and action movies, and it was a real explosion to see his every scene he is in.

In many ways, Everything Everywhere, at once, looks like a tribute to Yeoh, showing how talented and often underutilized she is. But it also provides great moments for the supporting cast, including Key Huy Quan. This is his first big role since early retirement as he was typified after the roles of Data in The Goonies and Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Quan effectively plays multiple roles in the film, and he deftly jumps between his various incarnations of Waymond. One is a shy middle-aged man with self-doubt, and the other is a fucked up resistance fighter who channels the ostentation and lightness of Hong Kong-style action movie heroes. His scenes are satisfying to watch as it unfolds, and he is natural in portraying physical comedy and connecting with Yeoh during the film’s more dramatic highlights.

Jamie Lee Curtis, who plays Deirdre, is also a fantastic antagonist in the film. An auditor of the Tax Administration with strong “Karen” energy, Deirdre is imbued with interdimensional powers. Curtis also plays against the guy as a villain who ruthlessly hunts down a victim. Others highlighted James Hong as Evelyn’s aging father and Evelyn’s daughter Joy (played by Stephanie Hsu), who plays the lead role in the plot, with her various incarnations directly related to the film’s emotional arc.

Another reason why the film works so well is from the creators themselves. The film was directed by Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, you understand?), Who previously worked on the unusual but still touching comedy Swiss Army Man and the infamous music video for DJ Snake and Lil ‘Jon’s Turn Down for What. This unusual energy from their previous works is transferred to Everything Everywhere at once, and really raises a lot of humor and action in moments that please the audience.

The directorial style is to stretch the boundaries of the real, almost to the point of embarking on a surreal live cartoon. Everything everywhere, everything at once is a surreal film, but he always uses it in the service of his characters. He founds the film when it comes to his emotional core, about family and life with regret. Above all, this is an immigrant story of life in America, which resonated with me as someone with a parent who traveled to a foreign country to create a life for himself.

In the darkest moments of the film, he steps into the boundaries of nihilism when confronted with the infinite nature of the universe, but eventually accepts the gift of being alive, even if only for the short time we have, to be with the people we love. It’s an incredibly life-affirming message, especially for a film that balances raucous action scenes involving bad guys licking walls or throwing Ave Maria into singing to gain interdimensional powers (it makes sense in the context of the film).

Everything everywhere, everything at once is so wildly unorthodox and experimental for action comedy, and I did my best for that. A lot of the cast puts them in unusual scenes that are so out of the ordinary for them, and it pays off so well. There have been some comments lately about the current state of the films, with sequels and other links in the spotlight. This film is one of the few that is completely above its weight to stand alongside the great films of the year.

This is a film that accepts the weird, and it’s a great quality in film at this age. There is much more I can say, but you’d better see for yourself. This is an amazing, hilarious and touching film about family, taxes and the multiverse, which you must watch in 2022.
