	Media	Author	Review
		Jacob Hall SlashFilm	"A mind-melting masterpiece (...) There's a lot of movie in this movie — a spiraling, sweeping, stunning descent into madness followed by a stirring call for healing, and for kindness."
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"It’s a movie that I saw twice just to make sure I hadn’t completely hallucinated it the first time around, and one that I will soon be seeing a third time for the same reason"
		Marya E. Gates The Playlist	"An emotional, philosophical, and deeply weird trip through the looking glass into the multiverse (...) Michelle Yeoh gives a virtuoso performance (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Rafael Motamayor IGN	"'Everything Everywhere All at Once' finds fresh soil to plant a complex seed in this conceit, a fresh take on the trend that is truly bizarre, gross, heartfelt, and honest"
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] is insanely imaginative and often a lot of fun. But at two hours-plus, it becomes unrelenting and wearisome"
		Robert Daniels The Playlist	"'Everything Everywhere All At Once' is overstuffed and grandiose, sometimes too proud of its ridiculousness, but its epic scale and bombastic storytelling signals how fearless filmmaking can translate to breathtaking results"
		Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"Yeoh contains multitudes, and so does The Daniels’ surreal but sweet follow-up to 'Swiss Army Man'"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"The result is a mess, but a meticulously planned and executed mess, where every shot, every sound effect and every sight gag fits exactly as the Daniels intended"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Everything Everywhere is best appreciated for its grandiose ambitions, bombarding the viewer with its frenetic style while telling a poignant story about an older woman trying to make peace with her not-so-wonderful life."
		David Crow Den of Geek	"Everything Everywhere is the type of film that comes around only once in a blue moon. It’s so brimming with invention and ideas that it’s dazzling to behold"
		Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"The hilarious, mind bending, touching, inventive crowd pleaser the moment demanded (...) Truly, 'Everything Everywhere all at Once' does one thing. Exactly what the title promises"
		Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"It's frequently maddening, and the actors, particularly the inexhaustible Yeoh, do much of the work to ground what often feels, like a coded story whose secret key you haven't been invited to share"
		Trace Thurman Bloody Disgusting	"A magical triumph of cinematic storytelling. It's a delight from beginning to end. It's bonkers, hilarious, violent, charming, sweet, great. You've never seen anything like this before (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		John Fink The Film Stage	"A film that gleefully, hilariously subverts expectations at every corner, borrowing à la music videos from pop culture, experimental film, and any corner of the universe it finds inspiration in"
		Valerie Complex Deadline	"Nothing you see is by accident, which aids in invoking a physical reaction by funneling the audience through a range of emotions to unsettle the viewer. Every subject addressed is essential to moving the story forward"
		Charles Bramesco The Guardian	"However dazzling the vortexes this film shoots us through at supersonic speed may be, they still deposit us somewhere we’ve been before (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Adi Robertson The Verge	"A giant tangled yarn ball of a movie, and if it doesn't work for you, that feeling will last for a very, very long time. If it does work, though, it might be one of the most charmingly ridiculous movies you see this year"
		Aurora Amidon Paste Magazine	"[It] achieves the impossible (...) Can you really have everything everywhere all at once? Whatever the characters' answers end up being, I am certain that the Daniels would say yes, of course you can"
		J Hurtado Screen Anarchy	"The rare film that works no matter what you're looking for in it (...) It's truly a feast, the kind that leaves you almost too stuffed to stand up from the table, but still reaching for that last bite. It's incredible"
		Jordan Hoffman AV Club	"It's important to add that this madness does serve a purpose. The anarchy is meant to represent what we all feel (...) It all makes sense when you see it. And it's fantastic"
		John Serba Decider	"Exercise patience and a willingness to meet Daniels on their own lunatic turf, and 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' offers a bounty of rewards"
