Everything Everywhere All at Once. (2022)
 
Everything Everywhere All at Once - Wikipedia

It is the big winner at this year's Academy Awards. List of accolades received by Everything Everywhere All at Once - Wikipedia

Have only seen it up to the point where Jamie Lee Curtis' character enters the story but will have to see what the fuss is about.

There are a number of recent Best Pictures I have not been able to watch in one sitting. Academy Awards - Wikipedia

I watched it in one sitting and regretted every moment. 🫤

I haven’t seen it but, according to the description, it is incomprehensible.

The star has to connect with parallel universe versions of herself to prevent a powerful being from destroying the multiverse.


Has anyone seen it and
A. Liked it, and
B. Understood it?

Ever since "The English Patient" won Best Picture (possibly the most boring movie ever made), I avoid any Best Picture winners until I can see them for free. So this one will also be in that category. But I do love Jamie Lee Curtis . . . . .

Agree with you about the English patient, thought it would never end. Most of these "winners" are of no interest to me and as a result been years since I watched the show.

It does indeed sound incomprehensible. I'm gonna go off the rails here and say I REALLY enjoyed the movie Being John Malcovich. 9 of 10 people who have seen it consider it stupid- with the 1 considering it brilliant. I thought it was brilliant. This Oscar winner may be that kind of film.

I enjoyed that one too.

Another "quirky as hell" movie that I thoroughly enjoyed...

Going slightly off topic (books instead of movies), has anyone read A Confederacy of Dunces?

The NY Times Book Review listed it as one of the top 25 novels of the past 125 years.

I read it. Perhaps I am stupid, lack sophistication, or I don't understand great satire (or possibly a combination of those factors), but it may have been the worst book I have ever read. I kept reading it thinking that it has to get better - but I was wrong. The only interesting thing about it was how it got published - posthumously. Please note that Ulysses was also on that list of best books.

If anyone liked it, I would like to hear your reasons.
