Everything Everywhere All At Once

Everything Everywhere All At Once is a film that uses cinematography and editing in incredible ways to tell a unique and meaningful story. The Daniels use visual effects and editing techniques as a way to tell what can be at times a difficult story to follow. I think this movie is a good example of how showing can be more effective than telling. For example, we could've had the multiverse described to Evelyn and been left to interpret what it is on our own, but by showing us montages of different Evelyn's in different universes at the same time we are able to understand what the multiverse means so much more clearly. I think this also allows the audience to try and understand what is going on through the eyes of Evelyn. The movie is not easy to follow, particularly at the beginning, but I think this was an intentional choice that pays off brilliantly. We as an audience aren't supposed to understand what exactly is going on because Evelyn has no idea what is happening either...
