Everything everywhere all at once

Multiverses look like the flavor of the season. Two months before Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, here’s another sci-fi action movie set in numerous alternate realities. Written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (known collectively as “Daniels”), Everything Everywhere All At Once stars Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn, “an exhausted Chinese-American woman who can’t to finish his taxes”, according to the editorial promotion. She then discovers that she has bigger problems. She can access the memories and skills of an infinite number of Evelyns from infinitely different universes – and she must use this power to save all those universes from the forces of evil. Judging by Daniels’ former independent curiosity, Swiss Army Man, this one should be a lot stranger than Doctor Strange.

Released March 24 in the US and Canada
