I saw this in a doublebill at the cibena with "Everything Everywhere All at Once", and that was a perfect match.

Thomas as a brilliant physics professor who sakes almost everything to his dream, to be the one who finds, defines and describes the multiverse. He is so sunk into this that several of his multiverse selfs are helping or disrupting him in getting to this goal.

His 10 year old son is his only link with reality.

Well this taks an even more comedic approach to the multiverse that "Everything...", and is more of a feel-good movie.

The main theme here the multiverse, but the bonds to other humans, his former wife and so is making this a great watch. Well played by all. Arthur Berning is sublime, and so is the boy laying the son.

Even though the term "multiverse" has become more common in today's movie-landscape, this movie takes a different and more subtle approach to it. Focusing on Thomas who is a researcher, the concept of the multiverse becomes a backdrop and a tool used to reinforce the story.

The different versions of Thomas (seemingly from other universes) create some really funny situations, but also add a lot of depth to the character and his struggles with himself as he is torn between his work and his family.

Underneath the comedy and multiversal elements, a deeper and more serious tone is found, focusing on family and the relation between father and son. This is cleverly shown on several levels and is the strength of the movie.

Along with great acting performances, especially by lead Arthur Berning, this movie really sticks the landing.
