The philosophy of optimistic nihilism felt genuine and reflected how I feel about existence in general. I have never felt such a deep connection with a film before, it felt profoundly "real" even when the actual content was fantastical.\n\nThe movie was spectacularly beautiful, the prose was strong, the acting was emotional. It has been about a month since I saw it in theaters and it continues to worm its way into my thoughts.\n\nNot for everyone, but by god it was for me.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I was skeptical of the hype. I don't often enjoy movies... I'm more of a documentary kind of gal, so I waited for it to come out on Amazon even though everyone told me to see it in theater.\n\nBut.. this movie was EVERYTHING. It was action packed, heartfelt, and hilarious at the same time. Just the right amount of nonsense allowed me to enjoy even the action scenes (not usually my thing). The ending had me crying and laughing at the same time. It's worth watching!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I watched this movie FOUR times in theaters. I still laugh, cry, cringe, etc. at all the parts. I notice new things during every rewatch that just make this movie more and more beautiful. I didn't know that I could enjoy a movie as much as I enjoy this. It truly lives up to its name. The score, acting, directing, cinematography, and writing are all phenomenal.\n\nI was briefly depressed at the prospect that I might never experience another movie like this, but then realized that I couldn't have conceived of doing so beforehand and so I'm elated to be surprised again in the future."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'It’s been a long time since I was this impressed by a movie! It is incredibly imaginative, hilariously funny, and extremely moving. The acting is first-rate, and is deeply enhanced by quality writing, thoughtful storytelling, and excellent special effects. It is SO much more than “Chinese family owns a laundromat.” I am going to see it in-theater again, and I cannot wait to own it!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Mind blown, this movie was brilliant, loving, mind-altering... I will watch again in the morning. Nothing matters, but that is exactly why we are free to just love. “If our life is the only thing we get to experience, then it’s the only thing that matters. If the universe has no principles, then the only principles relevant are the ones we decide on. If the universe has no purpose, then we get to dictate what its purpose is.” --- philosophical animation channel Kurzgesagt.\n\nMust see movie, and after you have seen it once, see it again, and then share with a friend and then go be happy.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "When I say this, I say it knowing it is not the perfect movie and that feeds into the whole purpose of it. It is philosophical, thought provoking, ridiculous, weird, crazy, so much fun, incredibly heartwarming, unique, and literally everything all at once. It is so incredibly nuanced and it's so obvious so much care and love went into the making of it. It goes to show you don't need a huge budget or big time celebrities to make an all around fantastic movie. This should be winning all the awards, it deserves way more recognition."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I think this movie is going to be looked back on with great fondness in the future. The visuals are so intense they almost pull you into the movie. The cast, especially Yeoh, are great and make you emotionally invested in them. The message is timeless (pun intended). A message I needed to hear and a message a lot of people need to hear today, tomorrow, and beyond.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This is the best movie of a generation. On par with The Princess Bride, there's action, romance, drama, sorrow, and humor. Everything you could want in a film. If this doesn't win at least one Oscar, I'll be upset.\nFirst to the teams that made this film: The acting from all involved was excellent. The camera work, lighting, sound design, and effects were masterful. After seeing some videos online, the editing crew is awe inspiring. All of this absurd amount of skill and talent brought together by A24.\nNext, the storyline seems complicated, as it should for a movie involving the multiverse. But as the story moves along, you start to see the larger picture. There's building of excitement for the main character as they discover skills and how to use them and the comedy from their misadventures and odd situations they get into. The action is wonderful in its play on older martial arts movies. Some are over the top and others will have you laughing. Again, the cast and crew made this a memorable experience and I can't praise them highly enough."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I know multiverse is the "thing" but this movie was so disorganized and stupid I\'m frankly surprised a big star like Michelle Yeoh would sign up for this. The slapstick stuff wasn\'t even funny, not when they did the raunchy fight scenes with giant dildoes and guys with pointed trophies stuck up there you-know-what. It wasn\'t even funny.\n\nPlus, the entire plot was so disjointed you get whiplash, and the subplot with Michelle trying to reconcile with her daughter was depressing [the rock falling off the ledge scene]. The worse subplot was the hotdog finger universe. It was so disgustingly sexual with the two dancers sucking hotdog fingers with mustard and ketchup and the awful horrid scenes a famous actress like Michelle Yeoh must have had to be drugged to do them. I felt like vomiting because those fingers looked so phallic, and I don\'t like having their reprobate acts shoved down my throat.\n\nHonestly, some things can\'t be unseen. So do yourself a big favor and PASS on this movie. The only character I liked was Waymond, the kind-hearted husband. Everyone else sucked.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This was phenomenal. Kept me captivated from start to finish. This story about motherhood and nihilism and reconciliation is beautiful. Michelle Yeoh gives a masterful and moving performance with depth and character. I can\'t gush enough about the performance of every single person in this film. I was initially drawn to it because it is awesome to see women of a "certain age" featured in any films outside of two or three American actresses\' and the five they rotate in England. I am so glad I bought it. I can not wait to watch it again and see what I will catch in my next viewing. Visually it is stunning.\n\nI loved that language was used; the way I know people who have a different language as their first language than the dominate language of where they are live. It\'s a mix mash of Cantonese and English. I didn\'t even resent having to read subtitles, which I have come to do more as I get older and less patient with things.\n\nNow a disclaimer. I went through and read other reviews. From what I can see if you are a red cap cult member you will not like this movie. Don\'t waste your money. But if you are a person with a few functioning brain cells, this might be your next favorite movie, just as long as you don\'t think anything that wasn\'t sung about in a country song from the 40s is considered "woke" behavior.'}]
