Why watch this?
There are mind-trip films - then there is this chaotic eye-candy.
Plot Summary:
This mind-bending story centers on Evelyn Wang, a laundromat
owner who feels her life has been filled with missed
opportunities and regrets. During a stressful IRS audit, she
discovers, with help from her husband, the existence of the
multi-verse. To her amazement, she can access the memories,
skills, and experiences of her alternative selves across
countless universes. Evelyn is tasked with using these newfound
abilities to fight against a powerful being threatening to
destroy the multiverse, while also navigating complex family
relationships, particularly with her daughter, Joy.

Dad's Preview:
I read about this film, and
purchased the Blu-ray disc before seeing it. I was THAT sure
a) it would be great, and b) I would love it. Both were correct.
It's unlike any film I have ever seen, anywhere, anytime. It was
nominated for 11 Oscars, winning 7 including Best Picture,
Director, Actress (Yeoh), Supporting Actor (Quan), Supporting
Actress (Curtis), Original Screenplay and Editing. It is one
hell of a genre-crossing, reality-bending mind-trip. Wow.
Simply, wow. |
