Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. Doctor Strange, with the help of mystical allies both old and new, traverses the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to confront a mysterious new adversary. Benedict Cumberbatch and Xochitl Gomez lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. It was released in 2022. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness fits the bill. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Benedict Cumberbatch anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.
