Everything Everywhere All at Once

Everything Everywhere All at Once is currently streaming in Australia on Netflix and Stan, and in the US on Hulu and YouTube TV, and it earns its premise rather than just borrowing genre trappings. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. With 8,127 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Michelle Yeoh leads a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Everything Everywhere All at Once earns its spot. Everything Everywhere All at Once uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. An aging Chinese immigrant is swept up in an insane adventure, where she alone can save what's important to her by connecting with the lives she could have led in other universes. The human element stays intact thanks to Michelle Yeoh and Stephanie Hsu, who anchor every scene. It was released in 2022. Everything Everywhere All at Once resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give Everything Everywhere All at Once a chance. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Michelle Yeoh grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
