What are your thoughts on everything everywhere all at once please?

i really enjoyed it! we're going through a bit of Happy Nihilist moment in cultural time, i think, and this movie is such a lovely expression of that while also being like. so new, and genre-bending, and surprising. i love that at the core of all its maximalism there was really a delight in the mundane, and the way in which a (very forceful) broadening of your horizon can remind you that littleness and routine and familiarity deserve your love, too. i loved everything about jobu tupaki, her style, her dialogue, her villanelle-dialled-up-to-200 vibes. honestly, i think "colourful comedy that makes you cry" just might be my favourite genre of the year :')
