Everything Everywhere All At Once (15)
Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert
 

IT ISN’T the easiest of titles to remember, but you won’t forget this psychedelic, mind-blowingly bonkers sci-fi adventure with hidden social and philosophical depths. An exhausted middle-aged Chinese-American immigrant battles a family drama, tries to keep her laundrette business afloat along with her marriage and tackles generational divides while being propelled through multidimensional universes (Marvel, watch and learn) in order to save the world. Or it’s just about a woman trying to do her taxes while being hounded by an officious jobs-worth of an IRS agent (played brilliantly by Jamie Lee Curtis).

It’s all of those things and so much more, but equally difficult to quantify and categorise — one of the most ingenious, innovative and surprising films in a very long time; it is also funny and terribly moving while proving an endless visual assault on the senses, tricky to keep up with at times.
