Kindness in the chaos: Daniels talk about the core of "Everything Everywhere All At Once"

"Everything Everywhere All At Once" is now showing in over 80 cinemas in the Philippines

These days, filmmaker Daniel Kwan says, much of art is broadly struggling to confront two things: “One is this feeling of everything happening all at once—how can you put that in a story in a way that is meaningful? And the other is climate change.”

"Everything Everywhere All At Once" is most obviously Daniels' attempt at trying to encapsulate the first part, but you can sense the latter lurking in the background as well. Of course, in Daniels' language, if climate dread is an inspiration, it takes on a decidedly different look: in Jobu's (Stephanie Hsu) evil plan, everything bagel-void threatens to swallow the multiverse and destroy us all. “This project came out of our own anxieties about living in the modern world, and I think everyone I know is trying to capture that,” Kwan says. 

Michelle Yeoh blockbuster film ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ is hitting PH Cinemas this June

The movie everyone is talking about is finally coming to the Philippines on the big screens. TBA Studios secures the exclusive distribution rights to A24’s big-hearted sci-fi adventure Everything Everywhere All at Once to be shown in local cinemas on June 29, 2022.

The highly anticipated film stars Michelle Yeoh (Crazy Rich Asians, Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings) as an exhausted Chinese immigrant woman named Evelyn who can’t seem to finish her taxes. It doesn’t help that a variant of her happy go-lucky husband takes over and tells her she has to save the multiverse.
