Very ambitious multiversal drama. I honestly was not expecting this movie to be built around a family delivered through a multiverse of astounding scenes and imagery but I was pleasantly surprised and intrigued by it. Particularly impressed by the brilliant Michelle Yeoh and the underhyped performance of Ke Huy Quan.

However, considering the high standards the movie sets for itself - despite the brilliance of its characters, how the story is told, and how the movie's plot unfolds, and - if Everything, Everywhere, All at Once is perceived as the fast-paced drama it is albeit set across a multiverse: The movie underdelivers. To be clear, yes, the movie borrows a lot from multiple genres but at its core it is mostly a drama.

In that light, it struggles to provide sufficient emotional fulfillment by the end of the movie and all the brilliance of the movie's methodology amounts to little. It also fails to deliver anything new or unique to match its multiversal ambitions, undermining its brilliance with a bagel. Point being: The movie shows that it can tell its story across a multiverse but ultimately does not prove that it has a reason to do so.

Also, while Stephanie Hsu was good for the most part, I think she perhaps lacked a functional range to portray the varieties of her character. Thus contributing to the emotional gap at the end of the movie.

Overall, it's a mostly superb movie, seriously original and put together with Oscar worthy editing. If there was one Oscar this movie would easily win, it would have to be for the editing work.

Morbius the movie - is bad. I guess the sound, visual effects & CGI isn't entirely bad and neither is Jared Leto. But, other than that, this movie is a sad and unfortunate embarrassment, especially to any key decision maker involved in its release.

There was probably a sensible Morbius movie at some point but this movie is not it. This movie is a choppy mess. It's senseless, incoherent and disjointed, stitched together with questionable editing that'll leave viewers befuddled and utterly dissatisfied.

I cannot believe Sony released this.

The problem with - Single All the Way - is not that it is unlikable. It is a Christmas themed romantic comedy, and those things are by default supposed to be liked - plus, there's Jennifer Coolidge. Instead the problem is how superficial and shallow the movie is, more-so than your average rom-com. It's all just too fake and unrealistically perfect.

The movie is sweet, you get a few laughs here and there - and as most Christmas movies tend to be there's some feel-goodness involved. But the movie is just too shallow and superficial. It's full of stereotypes & clichés, and almost everything is trite. Not to mention that the main plot device that brings the protagonists together (i.e. Meddling friends and family) is really not-okay at all, and very questionable.

All in all, it is just a movie: an average one at best. It is thoroughly passable and it struggles to be a decent romantic comedy at all. The fact that it is a gay rom-com is probably its only redeeming bit.
