Several weeks before I dropped out of college, I had one final essay to write for my History of Hollywood course. The prompt allowed me to pick any significant part of film history to write about, and I decided to write my essay on the recent rise of Asian Americans in Hollywood. At the time I had an extremely pessimistic view on Asians in Hollywood. It was 2020, and even though we had our own movies, it still felt like we were being boxed into specific Hollywood roles. Boba tea drinkers, kungfu fighters, nerds. I ended the essay questioning whether anything really changed in Hollywood. It wasn't until 2022, when I saw the INSANE movie, Everything Everywhere All At Once, that my perspective on Hollywood completely shifted. This is that story.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
