In Reply to: "Everything Everywhere All at Once" - I'm a *racist*? posted by Feanor on March 14, 2023 at 11:45:22:
7/10 is the best movie (out of the ones nominated)
My annual Academy Awards Rankings (out of five):
10) Women Talking **
9) Triangle of Sadness **
8) Top Gun: Maverick ***
7) Avatar: The Way of Water ***
6) Elvis ***
5) The Banshees of Inisherin ***
4) The Fabelmans ***
3) Tár ***1/2
2) All Quiet on the Western Front ***1/2
1) Everything Everywhere All at Once ***1/2
Everything Everywhere All at Once at its core is a family drama about a mother trapped between pleasing her father and old cultural values and her lesbian daughter and modern mores. Evelyn, of all her multiverse lives, is living her worst dull existence and is losing the family business, her husband and her daughter.
The multi-verse stuff (Sci-Fi stuff) is gloss - Look past that and you have what the movie is about.
