^Just saw it yesterday. Such a well developed concept and also incredibly executed. The acting was top notch for such an insane story. There's a lot of different variations of the character to keep track of, but the vision of the directors was held together through all the different universe shoots. That's impressive.
I really enjoyed the performances of everyone, but especially Stephanie Hsu (playing the daughter). She's been on the last 2 seasons of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and has been exceptional on that show as well in a very different role. I think she's poised to become a big star after this one.
And of course, there are things in this film that are going to be pop culture reference points for a long time. Just off the top of my head, hot dog fingers and raccaccoony are going to stick with me forever.
It's just funny because the themes and even plot devices are nearly identical to Dr. Strange 2, but are handled in such a different way. I saw both back to back this week and I loved Everything Everywhere... a lot more than Dr. Strange 2, and I really liked Dr. Strange 2.
