Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
Nothing Nowhere Never
This movie truly seems to be the Emperor's New Clothes with so many people pretending it's genius because they're too afraid to admit they don't understand this complete and utter drivel.
The only reason I gave it 3/10 instead of zero is that it does contain humourous moments... although those are mostly ridiculous and do nothing to help you understand the plot.
If I were Jamie Lee Curtis I'd be insulted to have won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for a role she must have had no inkling of whether she was doing a good job or not. How could she? Then again, perhaps that's the true test of acting ability! If you really want to witness JLC delivering an award winning performance, watch S2 E6 of 'The Bear'. You'll be much better rewarded for your time than the 2+ hours I'll never get back from this crap!

Mediocre at best
With talent like Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman I had higher hopes for this film, but these weren't their strongest performances. That said, acting is not the reason this movie failed to hit the mark. The screenplay was not great from the start and the directing felt inexperienced. However the biggest issue I had was one I rarely pay attention to - the score. Music should elevate moments in a movie. This score was often loud and so out of sync with the story it made some scenes distressing to watch. I also don't understand why they created this fictional story that is so obviously based on Mary Kay Latourneau's life. Legal reason of some sort - who knows?
