Everything Everywhere All at Once Film Review

    Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of the most engaging films I’ve ever seen, as it successfully combines heart-pounding action with deeply emotional storytelling. What I found most compelling was how the film managed to take a bizarre, chaotic concept of a multiverse and use it to tell a heartfelt story about a mother trying to connect with her daughter. Michelle Yeoh’s performance as Evelyn is powerful and layered, and her journey through countless alternate versions of herself feels both surreal and deeply personal. The mix of humor, absurdity, and sincerity kept me fully invested throughout the film.

    The visuals were absolutely stunning—fast-paced, colorful, and imaginative, with universe-jumping scenes that felt both epic and intimate. The film’s strengths lie in its originality, emotional depth, and bold storytelling. Ke Huy Quan’s return to film was another highlight, bringing warmth and heart to the character of Waymond. However, one weakness is that the movie can be overwhelming at times, especially in the middle, where the fast editing and constant shifts between realities might confuse some viewers. Despite this, the core message remains clear and touching: in a world of chaos, kindness and connection matter most.

    Overall, the plot was complex but ultimately clear by the end, and the emotional payoff was more than worth the confusion. The film never dragged; instead, it pushed the boundaries of what a movie can be while still keeping its focus on relationships and identity. Its mix of genre, emotion, and philosophical themes makes Everything Everywhere All at Once not only entertaining but also deeply meaningful. It’s no surprise it won 7 Academy Awards—including Best Picture—and left such a strong impact on audiences and critics alike. 


And finally, I would rate the movie a 8/10.

The Purge: Anarchy Film Review

Image
The Purge: Anarchy (2014), directed by James DeMonaco, is a science fiction and action film that takes place in a dystopian America where all crime is legal for 12 hours once a year. I liked this film more than the first Purge because it felt bigger, more exciting, and had more to say about society. It kept me on the edge of my seat with its intense action scenes and scary look at what happens when laws no longer exist. What I found most engaging about this movie was the setting and the story. Unlike the first film, which mostly took place in one house, Anarchy shows us what the Purge looks like in the streets of Los Angeles. The group of strangers trying to survive together made the story more interesting, and I cared about what happened to them. Frank Grillo’s character, Sergeant Leo Barnes, was my favorite because he was tough but also showed a lot of heart. The cinematography was very effective, with dark lighting and shaky camera shots that made the chaos feel real. One strengt...
