This Movie Is So Good - Blog Posts

This movie is amazing. It's so expressive; each character is dynamic and has a sense of realness to them. The way that fragility and one's flaws are conveyed has brought me to tears each time I've watched--You can find it on Netflix--(Reblog and tag a movie that makes you cry as well).

everything everywhere all at once is about intergenerational trauma. about depression and passive suicidality and the gravitational appeal of nothingness. about aging, getting older in your twenties and getting older in your fifties. about the specific hurt mothers can cause their daughters and daughters their mothers. about the harsh reality of the immigrant experience and the american dream. but it’s mostly about kindness and family and it’s about choosing to sit at home talking about taxes with someone who loves you, and it’s about telling your daughter that you’d choose her over the entire universe, and it’s about how even in the universes where life didn’t form, love can still exist. and it’s really all of that at once.
