	Author	Review
United States	Jacob Hall SlashFilm	"A mind-melting masterpiece (...) There's a lot of movie in this movie — a spiraling, sweeping, stunning descent into madness followed by a stirring call for healing, and for kindness."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"It’s a movie that I saw twice just to make sure I hadn’t completely hallucinated it the first time around, and one that I will soon be seeing a third time for the same reason"	POS
United States	Marya E. Gates The Playlist	"An emotional, philosophical, and deeply weird trip through the looking glass into the multiverse (...) Michelle Yeoh gives a virtuoso performance (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Rafael Motamayor IGN	"'Everything Everywhere All at Once' finds fresh soil to plant a complex seed in this conceit, a fresh take on the trend that is truly bizarre, gross, heartfelt, and honest"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] is insanely imaginative and often a lot of fun. But at two hours-plus, it becomes unrelenting and wearisome"	NEU
United States	Robert Daniels The Playlist	"'Everything Everywhere All At Once' is overstuffed and grandiose, sometimes too proud of its ridiculousness, but its epic scale and bombastic storytelling signals how fearless filmmaking can translate to breathtaking results"	POS
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"Yeoh contains multitudes, and so does The Daniels’ surreal but sweet follow-up to 'Swiss Army Man'"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"The result is a mess, but a meticulously planned and executed mess, where every shot, every sound effect and every sight gag fits exactly as the Daniels intended"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Everything Everywhere is best appreciated for its grandiose ambitions, bombarding the viewer with its frenetic style while telling a poignant story about an older woman trying to make peace with her not-so-wonderful life."	POS
United States	David Crow Den of Geek	"Everything Everywhere is the type of film that comes around only once in a blue moon. It’s so brimming with invention and ideas that it’s dazzling to behold"	POS
United States	Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"The hilarious, mind bending, touching, inventive crowd pleaser the moment demanded (...) Truly, 'Everything Everywhere all at Once' does one thing. Exactly what the title promises"	POS
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"It's frequently maddening, and the actors, particularly the inexhaustible Yeoh, do much of the work to ground what often feels, like a coded story whose secret key you haven't been invited to share"	NEU
United States	Trace Thurman Bloody Disgusting	"A magical triumph of cinematic storytelling. It's a delight from beginning to end. It's bonkers, hilarious, violent, charming, sweet, great. You've never seen anything like this before (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	John Fink The Film Stage	"A film that gleefully, hilariously subverts expectations at every corner, borrowing à la music videos from pop culture, experimental film, and any corner of the universe it finds inspiration in"	POS
United States	Valerie Complex Deadline	"Nothing you see is by accident, which aids in invoking a physical reaction by funneling the audience through a range of emotions to unsettle the viewer. Every subject addressed is essential to moving the story forward"	POS
United Kingdom	Charles Bramesco The Guardian	"However dazzling the vortexes this film shoots us through at supersonic speed may be, they still deposit us somewhere we’ve been before (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Adi Robertson The Verge	"A giant tangled yarn ball of a movie, and if it doesn't work for you, that feeling will last for a very, very long time. If it does work, though, it might be one of the most charmingly ridiculous movies you see this year"	POS
United States	Aurora Amidon Paste Magazine	"[It] achieves the impossible (...) Can you really have everything everywhere all at once? Whatever the characters' answers end up being, I am certain that the Daniels would say yes, of course you can"	POS
Canada	J Hurtado Screen Anarchy	"The rare film that works no matter what you're looking for in it (...) It's truly a feast, the kind that leaves you almost too stuffed to stand up from the table, but still reaching for that last bite. It's incredible"	POS
United States	Jordan Hoffman AV Club	"It's important to add that this madness does serve a purpose. The anarchy is meant to represent what we all feel (...) It all makes sense when you see it. And it's fantastic"	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"Exercise patience and a willingness to meet Daniels on their own lunatic turf, and 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' offers a bounty of rewards"	NEU
