    Everything Everywhere All At Once. I found it utterly boring, yet everyone seemd to love it, especially my fellow ADHD crowd. I never even bothered finishing the film which is bloody rare for me.

    Yet I like mind-bending films like Primer, and chaotic films like Crank, and heck, I even like Battleship as a guilty pleasure that I can turn my brain off to… But this film? Bleh.

      I felt mostly the same way watching it, but I also think the ending of the movie is important to understand the soul of it. I wasn’t crazy about the humor or the whole look-how-random-LOL vibe it had, but I do think there was something more beneath that. The performances were also very good.

      This is the exact film I came to comment. It tried way too hard to be quirky and rAnDoM.

        I liked it, but a lot of it seemed like reddit fan fiction. What if butt plug fight. Imagine they have carrots… Not saussages as fingers. Someone give this man gold.

      I didn’t get the hype when I watched it the first time shortly after it was released. But when I rewatched it recently it hit differently. There was less need to try to keep up with all the random things that are happening so fast and instead I focused on the deeper message about the meaning of and the appreciation for our lives with all the good and bad going on.
