ELON WATCHES: “Everything Everywhere All At Once” is explosively existential
As a critic, those moments when I walk out of a theater, or take off my headphones, or turn the last page and leave with a mind too stunned to speak are the moments I live for. Those movies or songs that knock my head out my skull and leave me speechless with a million thoughts invigorate me. Movies like this are few and far in between — and I’m glad they are, because while a movie as brilliant as “Everything Everywhere All At Once” excites every cell in my body with its witty dialogue, beautifully written humanity and sniper shot accuracy of 21st-century existentialism, it’s honestly exhausting to witness something that so artfully and brutally mirrors the pathetic breath of my humanity and shoves it in my face with a twenty-minute kung fu fight scene.
