Everything Everywhere All at Once Has Been a Major Success for A24
Everything Everywhere All at Oncewas met with universal acclaim from both critics and audiences alike upon release, receiving praise for its creative handling of the multiverse, its powerful central performances, many of which require the actors to leap from drama to action to comedy, and for its tackling of such themes as existentialism, nihilism, family, motherhood, and the Asian-American identity. The absurdist action drama also saw success at the box office,and is now the highest grossing movie for studio A24.
After such a successful year,Everything Everywhere All at Oncereceived a total of 11 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Schienert, Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh, and Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan.The movie marks a major comeback for Ke Huy Quanwho, beforeEverything Everywhere All at Once, was best known for roles in the likes of such 80s classics asIndiana Jones and the Temple of DoomandThe Goonies. The actor has struggled to find a foothold in the movie industry ever since these childhood performances and cannot believe the overwhelming positivity from audiences at his return.
“How often does a man in his 50s get a chance like this? How often do actors get a second act? I really hope that if people are reading my story, it gives them hope, it gives them courage to give voice to that dream they once had,”the actor said. “It’s so difficult to be an actor in this business, and I want those people who are doubting themselves or have dreams fading away because they think it’s not going to happen.”
Everything Everywhere All at Onceis available now on VOD, Blu-ray, DVD, and Ultra HD Blu-ray.
