It is at the same time a very old fashioned Oscar bait full of tears of sadness and tears of joy, dialogues where people hammer each other with their grievances and emotions, and a mandatory salute to many previous movies and the joy of cinema (in this case mostly kung fu cinema). If you are not buying the incessant torrent of methaphores you will end up hating the 140 minutes you just wasted (like I did). Expand

As a comedy it fails, its humor is veryI started watching it and I had to stop watching it in the middle of the duration because of how incredibly stupid and meaningless the movie seemed to me, with effort I finished watching it later. As a comedy it fails, its humor is very childish and ridiculous, there are comedy movies from the time of our grandparents whose humor still seems funny to us today, the humor of this movie is almost purely visual by showing ridiculous fights or characters dressed in ridiculous to say an example. As a science fiction genre, it also fails, despite the fact that the genre is fantasy, in general, the universe that we are presented with has consistency, it is credible, it has logic and if there are elements that are not very credible, they end up being few or scarce. The science fiction of this movie is so silly, so unbelievable that I can't really immerse myself in it. The story and relationship between the mother and her daughter, and how it develops, doesn't seem bad to me, but the other elements that I mentioned before are like ruining the experience of the movie itself. The film is new, I don't know if you could even talk about a new genre because of how incredibly chaotic it is, but even so, the stupidity of the plot, the stupidity of its universe, the bad humor, the nonsense of how several of the events take place that make me unable to recommend it and rate it negatively.

I've seen so many movies, usually go 3-4 times a week to a premium theater, and this is easily the worst I went to see. My sister, cousins and other relatives and moviegoer friends here in Peru agree this was an absolute rubbish. Do not waste your time or your money on this insipid tasteless pseudo-film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An angry lesbian girl whose conflicted mother doesn't want to accept her girlfriend creates a bagel of despair that turns into a black hole, threatening to destroy countless parallel universes. I cannot understand how this was widely proclaimed one of the best movies of 2022. This movie is a pretentious mess that only professional movie critics would like. The editing can induce an epileptic fit, the story paper thin. The humor is crass and childish - there's a parallel universe where people have hot dogs for fingers. There's a scene where two men kung fu fight with butt plugs. Not hitting each other with butt plugs, no they fight with butt plugs inside them. In their butts. That is how you make the "movie of 2022", folks.

According to the Wikipedia synopsis this movies handles themes like existentialism, generational trauma, nihilism, absurdism, and Asian-American identity, and I say with great confidence that I didn't see anything of the sort. Sure, it pretends to, with pretentious hand waving and preachy yelling, but there is nothing you can take away and apply to your own life. What this movie does have though is a talking raccoon, under a chef's hat.

Immersive mania simulator.

I had to roll the windows all the way down on the drive home to feel the wind on my face in order to recover from the torture of this movie. I supported my strained forehead with my hand during most of the movie, and nearly walked out several times. I couldn't wait for it to end, and was disappointed at the fake ending.

Out of context (what context?) the majority of the movie looks and sounds very good, if not epic, but, taken together, it is incoherent and dangerous for human consumption. This is contemporary art house cinema, dissonant and chaotic. Acting, editing, audio mixing, and photography were all very good.

I laughed at exactly one scene, and in another scene, a line about what could have been in past lives brought me to tears. By the last quarter of the film, the language of the movie had been established, allowing for mild enjoyment and resolution to some degree, but nothing about how or why this movie was made redeems its terrible watchability.

AVOID this utterly chaotic waste of time.

The movie starts with totally unsympathetic characters, self-absorbed and selfish, and then proceeds into silly situations with MORE unpleasant people. The silliness level is apparently not enough for the producers, because then the plot moves from silly then chaotic into just plain stupid, STILL with no sympathetic characters or direction.

The movie never shows an admirable person or direction, never becomes more than chaotic kung fu with bread sticks, silly and demeaning. Wow.

I watched more than an hour of this tripe, then left. The fact that is so highly rated by so many people shows me exactly why America has so many terrible problems now, apparently unsolvable: Far too many Americans are total idiots (and I grew up in Memphis, now in the UK for 30 years)

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (Quasi-spoilers follow) Oh my. This is what you continue to get from a generation steeped in postmodern absurdity. This hot-mess valiantly tries to reeeally stretch the bounds of imagination but is so brainlessly weird it ultimately means nothing. In fact half-way through this thing the multi-universe goddess proclaims the gleaming space bagel we're forced to behold proves "nothing matters." This is what we've been waiting for? In and around the tediously repetitive martial arts insanity we get to enjoy large bendy adult toys waved about and people deliberately shoving objects up their rectums in order to jump from multiverse to multiverse. It tries to weave in a touching message about the value of family but it is so unhinged, disjointed, disturbing, and just wickedly uncomfortable to endure that it is an absolutely waste-of-time. It would be nice if filmmakers would actually put out things that are genuinely original, uniquely engaging, actually enjoyable - maybe in another universe they are. Expand

Movie is modern art version of old question of relation between child and parents. If that would be a painting, it would be green straight line over yellow background, but it comes in a form of 2.5 hours long non-stop flow of heroin induced comma vomit experienced by prisoner suffering through Chinese torture with water droplets falling on the head. It is weirdly fun for the first 45 minutes, after that it’s way too much. Expand

I am really surprised to see all the 10 ratings. The movie made its point over and over and over again. Just when I was hoping this annoying movie was over, they'd drill in their point another time, another way. Ironically, they didn't spend enough time in any of her other lives to really care about the character(s).

I'm a big fan of Michelle Yeoh. She was as good as she could be with what she was given. The other actors were good, too. To me, this seems like a director trying too hard to be cool. Its structure reminds me a lot of a movie from 1974 called Zardoz and it's every bit as disjointed.

I’d say 90-95% of the time, I am in agreement with metacritic’s ratings. This is definitely NOT one of those times.

This is definitely NOT one of those times. This was one of the most pointless, gratuitous violence-filled movies I have ever seen. And I REALLY tried to give it a chance, but with 40 minutes to go, we finally walked out. I had such high hopes from the trailer, expecting to see a movie that, yes, was frenetic but was reaching to show a woman who was seeking to find meaning in different versions of her life and herself. It even started out okay for the first 20 minutes. But then it relied on stupid comedy (that wasn’t even that funny) and sensationalized violence that had no purpose. Do not waste your time or money as I did. Expand

I went and made an account just to warn people not to see this movie. My fiancé and I left feeling so gross and angry that we spent Friday night seeing it. Honestly, I wish I never saw it and am truly so confused how people liked this movie. It was clearly written by someone on drugs and needs to be watched by people on drugs. I don't do drugs so hated it. It's SOOO gross, so confusing, seems demonic and just so freaking weird it was shocking. I kept waiting for it to be good or for it to all tie together but nope. Don't do it. Expand

A puerile film for faux intellectuals. Honestly, if this impresses you, please expand your horizons - maybe read a book or two, some of the classics, perhaps. What passes for quality these days is shockingly bad.
