Everything Everywhere All At Once.

It's just... really good.
- I love how it makes just enough sense to hold the plot together. It was a lot of fun to watch.
  
  Also, it’s the lead of the class of millennial parental apology fantasy films, one of my favorite genres ;)

  Millennial parental apology fantasy… oh man I really love this.
- Good movie but how does it require multiple viewings to understand?
  
  Not OP, but to me it's one where getting to the ending gives you the context/lense to reinterpret the earlier portions. Sorta like memento or fight club, where the ending recontextualizes the earlier scenes.
- I had to pause that movie several times on my first watching. Not because it was bad or anything, it was amazing, but because there was so much stuff going on at once. It's now one of my fave movies to recommend to people
- I can never not upvote Absurdist philosophy.
- This is a masterpiece for sure!
