If she doesn't get an Oscar nomination for this role...i'm slapping every Academy voter myself.

[@smalls9852]

No joke!

[@Droorogers]

Not just a nomination. A win. Yeoh was a revelation in this.

[@saturn2fire]

You can start slapping now... we all know how the Oscars work. Independent movies like these will never get a nomination.... and since when did a Sci Fi fillm ever get a nomination? I bet the Best Picture nominees will always have those other cliches.

[@jeremyarenas6627]

@@saturn2fire i've seen how the Oscars work and I see this having the same trajectory as Moonlight and even Parasite. An indie darling with a non-white cast that everyone will root for as an underdog and ends up winning multiple awards. The Academy loves that narrative. Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan have career narratives that will help their case in securing noms and hopefully...wins. This movie is too widely loved for the Academy to ignore especially with its box office being impressive as it is every week. I think a lot of ppl will be advocating for this movie once awards season comes.

[@kimmirandaart9909]

When Michelle says “the prop I’m not even allowed to say, that goes where I’m not gonna mention”, you guys will see and everyone in the theater burst out laughing and dry heaving lol

[@mikewhocheeseharry5292]

Butt-plug trophies? Why is she not allowed to say butt-plug trophies?

[@brainrich1358]

I nearly died from laughing and wheezing at that scene. It was so great with the wackiness of the movie

[@jalankvng]

One word to describe Michelle Yeoh….. LEGENDARY!!!

[@materac440]

She is phenomenal in this movie. And the flick itself is truly a masterpiece.

[@LambentOrt]

Someone give her an Oscar already!!!

[@AC_336]

Done.

[@aresef]

She’s been a leading lady since Yes, Madam. It’s great to see her finally getting her due here.

[@jhingbangayan762]

Omg, I'm so so happy Michelle got the role. I grew up in Philippines watching her movies. She's amazing. She's a legend just like miss Jamie Lee Curtis.

[@Raraus]

one of the BEST mindbending equal parts hilarious/tearful/eventful & packed with action films that i've seen in SO long. the more research i've done on the film, the greater it gets. mind you it was only a team of 5 people that worked on special effects in this larger than life film - amongst the other BRILLIANT editing/creative/acting tricks this entire crew came up with to deliver this film

[@farrelfoster-lynam6683]

I'll never forget the experience of seeing this film. In awe of everyone involved in making it

[@LuckyFish3000]

An icon. A masterpiece. A moment.

[@michaelburns5122]

My childhood hero… I can’t say how many times I rewatched her fighting scenes in Crouching Tiger. SO EXCITED!!

[@destinedtobe1513]

She was right . In all of her action movies , she was always playing the sophisticated , graceful and elegant one . But this one's completely different . It gave a new flavor to Michelle's martial arts acting . This movie is the best among all the fantasy-action movies we've had in these decades .

[@WiiluvNaruto]

The movie was amazzzzzzzzing. She did phenomenally

[@shandrewsampson6539]

SHE IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN ALL POSSIBLE WAYS

[@erickim6533]

A sci-fi, action, comedy staring a middle aged Asian woman. This movie must have been so hard to get made. I HOPE IT KICKS ASS!!!!!

[@lilchinesekidchen]

The best little treat about this movie is that It was released a week before taxes were due in the US

[@amelie_a]

Michelle Yeoh is incredible as always. Stephanie Hsu also highly underrated!!

[@smalls9852]

She is such a legend and a true beauty inside and out. This movie was everything.

[@linkinaball]

I felt so much from Michelle’s acting it’s insane. But the whole cast is just as great. The directors even paid so much attention to the smaller roles like Becky. Seen it two times now. And the second time was even better for me and didn’t loose any of its intention. Adore this movie to bits.

[@linkinaball]

Aaaaand i went for the 3rd time. Same impact.

[@acciousername6776]

Becky is SUCH a scene stealer ❤

[@williamcolgin1987]

I've loved her since Super Cop. The movie was amazing and she was incredible in it. I don't think I've ever cried/laughed as much as I did with this movie.

[@danidsds]

I've seen movies with good comedy, movies with good action, movies with emotional moments, holy crap moments, wtf moments, etc. Many movies have one or two aspects down, some have one or two aspects done really really well. But, I can't remember the last time I saw a movie that has everything done to such a high level. So many awesome things merged together into something truly spectacular. And the acting was definitely one of these things. Everyone was awesome!

[@JToPocHi]

Just watched it. Total fever dream. But a takeaway moral value as well. Not forgetting Yeoh's absolute stellar performance really sold the show.

[@barbaragookin]

You should win Best Actress Oscar, for the TRAILER! I cannot wait to see the whole movie.

[@bambit08]

I grew up in Asia .... I LOVE Michelle Yeoh and her incredible skill. An OSCAR WINNER!!!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@ChirpyChat]

'A lot of first' - so true. So professional. So Michelle Yeoh!!!!

[@HuyPham-io4vu]

Just saw the movie, wonderful! Very interesting premise of the multiverse but grounded enough to see how you can relate. Cast is awesome! Glad to see Michelle and Ke back on screen.

[@glitchedrena]

Thank you Michelle Yeoh for doing so spectacularly in Everything Everywhere All at Once and saying these kind and beautiful words 💖

[@davemillet4160]

I don't think we've ever seen Michelle Yeoh quite like this. I'm ecstatic about this one!!🤘😮

there’s a universe where evelyn is actually michelle yeoh acting as evelyn

Haha wonderful. Yes Madam will be my all time action favorite of hers. I couldnt buy her "wuxia" classics anymore after got spoilt by the greatness of police story 3 an ultimate urban action of all time. She always been queen of urban action even though many purists still buy her "wuxia" flicks like CTHD.

[@riaconradt2554]

I hope they release this film in Germany. Not all big American films are shown here, not even in the big cities. Asian films are barely shown here, too. Unusually, sometimes they feature anime films, though.

[@oneib4519]

Whats the movie title in the last clip

[@joekennyable]

She does a pretty good job in explaining the basic plot. However She undersells how brilliant her performance is though.

[@garethturner4811]

Michelle Yeoh is a cool cat !!

[@joebaumgart1146]

Well, they were actually thinking of Jackie Chan when they were writing the script but he was busy. They thought of you when rewriting the script.

[@paulluk7515]

The film would have been a disaster and failure for sure if Jackie Chan had been cast and the storyline had centered on a male character

One thing Michelle Yeoh is NOT is an old dinosaur 🦖 😂

[@LorenzoNW]

THE FORMULA: 1 part The Matrix, 1 part Big Trouble In Little China, and 6 grams of psilocybin.

[@jonathanpatch5281]

The Matrix? A story about a guy living a humdrum existence who's visited by beings from another world who inform him that he's the chosen one, and that from now on his conflicts will be contested via the visually arresting medium of Kung Fu Fightiiiiiing!? I guess I can see the parallel. I'd also throw in a dash of: Rick and Morty -- Not just for the "wacky multi-verse shenanigans against the backdrop of traditional family dysfunction" vibe, but also for psychology of Jobu Tupacki (sp?), the Rick Sanchez of this particular multi-verse. (See, this is only one of many possible multi-verses.) One thing I worried about a bit about the movie is that Jobu Tupacki might be a bit underdeveloped for those not properly pre-steeped in Rick and Morty lore. Monty Python -- Pretty much just for sheer aggressive goofiness. The googly eyes. The hot dog fingers. The...Racacoonie of it all.

[@wingracer1614]

@@jonathanpatch5281 I posted elsewhere that this is the movie you would get if Jackie Chan (the fighting, physical comedy and heart), Douglas Adams and Terry Gilliam (the absurdism) and Christopher Nolan (the multiverse sci-fi elements) made a movie together.

[@Ironfangzu]

I love Michelle Yeoh. Let's get that out of the way. I also love science fiction, especially the mind-bending type. I love comedy. I love satire. I love action movies, especially the ones featuring Chinese martial arts. So I was prepared to love this movie. I wanted to love it. I read the reviews. So many of them were beyond glowing. Many viewers actually said that it was the best film they had ever seen in their entire lives. I've watched the movie now. It was made with honest intent. The acting was quite good. But, overall I have to say this. Disguised under all the comedy, the clever and original fighting, the multiverse plot, the "verse jumping" which was heavily stolen from the Matrix films, this was, to me, just a woke movie. This movie had a lot to say. But the loudest message was this: It's okay for your daughter to be gay. Personally, most gay people I know are cool, and their sexual preference has nothing to me. It's just not my business. But I don't enjoy watching "message" movies of any kind. I don't pay to go into theaters to be preached to. This was, sadly, a message movie telling me to be cool with gay people.. I didn't need that. I didn't enjoy the movie.

[@chemicalhap]

I am definitely seeing this movie now. Anytime it annoys people like you. I end up loving it.

[@Vendrix86]

Really bizarre that's the one thing you took away from this movie. Truly strange. The daughter being gay was just one shard of the many different shards that made up the movie but for some reason it's a gigantic shard for you. And what the hell are you talking about the "verse jumping" was heavily stolen from the Matrix films? The Matrix is made up of the real dystopian world and the fake digital world created by the machines. That's it. You don't even know what a multiverse is. A multi-verse means multiple universes. This has been done before with shows like Sliders and what Dr Strange should've been but failed miserably at. No one "owns" the multiverse concept especially when it's been talked about by scientists for years. You don't even know how to criticize a movie properly. I don't care that you're a bigoted idiot, to each his own. But at least know wtf you're talking about.

[@Starinthesky826]

The Daniel's have gone on recording saying they are huge fans of The Matrix and the similarities are intentional. BUT in the context of the story, the daughter being gay, was something Evelyn and Gong Gong, the grandfather, were very traditional. They weren't raised to accept a gay daughter, per their traditional/cultural up bringing. It was part of the characters emotional journey, learing to embrace their daughter/granddaughter just as she was.

[@sahibuzzamanmohdsaad1290]

I just left saw this movie about half an hour in cinema..it was so bored!!

[@everythingisaworkinprogres5729]

Interesting you and the commenter before you (kueh salak) have names that seem you may be from the same cultural background, and that you both didn’t enjoy the movie. Not trying to offend. Just an observation.
