The film started production in 2010, but production was announced in 2018.
Why It Rocks At Everything, Everywhere, And All At Once
- The movie truly lives up to its name by including some of the most outlandish concepts ever put on film. These include a talking raccoon, sentient rocks, hot dogs for fingers, a bagel that threatens the multiverse, awards shaped like butt plugs, etc. It shows no boundaries on how stupid everything may seem, but it makes all of this work somehow.
- The movie star universe Evelyn is shown to have no one close to her except her sensei. While she and Waymond are both extremely rich and successful, neither is remotely happy with their life, with Waymond in particular having basically given up on romance.
- Excellent acting from all the cast. In particular, Michelle Yeoh's performance as Evelyn Quan Wang received critical acclaim, with many reviewers calling it the best performance of her career.
- When Deirdre comes to repossess the laundromat, Waymond talks her out of it simply by sharing some information on their current situation, including that he and Evelyn are currently getting divorced. Deirdre not only gives them an extra week, she takes the time to commiserate with Evelyn over it.
- Deirdre's comment about how "unlovable bitches like them make the world go round", Evelyn insists that she is not unlovable. And she would know, in multiple universes, she's married to Deirdre.
- A universe where everyone has hot dogs for fingers prompts one observer from the Alpha Universe tech van to question how that could possibly be a feasible path for human evolution...prompting a cut to hundreds of thousands of years ago, where a group of hot-dog-fingered proto-humans are beating a normal-fingered proto-human to death, a la 2001: A Space Odyssey, right down to a squawking, beatless rendition of "Also Sprach Zarathustra".
- Pays homage to pop-culture. In the case of this, Evelyn's explanation of the multiverse to her family involves her insistence that Ratatouille was actually a film about a cooking raccoon called Raccacoonie. Despite being tied up, Joy finds it Actually Pretty Funny while Waymond happily says, "I like that movie!"
- It becomes even wilder when we see a universe where Evelyn is a chef...and her golden-boy coworker turns out to be hiding a raccoon under his hat. And then helping him save Raccacoonie from animal control becomes a key part of winning.
- Awesome soundtrack by Son Lux.
- Perfect pacing that's not too fast and not too slow. Even if the runtime was 139 minutes long, there is no getting boring, as it perfectly everything flows.
- All of its characters are relatable, and even likable too.
The Only Bad Quality
- Out of all the outlandish concepts this movie has, the dildo scene has been taken a bit too far.
