You’ve got to see Everything Everywhere All at Once - it’s an awesome movie! I used to avoid it, thinking it was just another sci-fi film that got popular in theaters, but boy, was I mistaken. The story is really well-crafted, the visuals are stunning, the acting is top-notch, and it even tugs at your heartstrings unexpectedly. I watched it last night and was blown away. Seriously, don’t make the same mistake I did. Go ahead and give it a watch. I’d easily rate it 8.5/10, heck, maybe even a 9!

      Ya this post is a prime example of why “awards shows mean nothing” is a dumb take – EEAAO was an incredible movie with loads of great cast interviews, high profile reviews, analysis of themes etc that came out as a result of the oscar campaign and Best Picture win and yet OP somehow missed out on it for like a year and a half

      Oh, I believe it did win an Oscar! But you know what? Awards don’t always tell the whole story. There are plenty of fantastic movies that didn’t receive awards, and on the flip side, some not-so-great films have somehow managed to snag lots of awards. So, it’s best not to put too much emphasis on awards alone! Enjoying a movie is what really matters in the end.

        High-profile awards like the Oscars are not given for excellence. They are just an advertisement for a movie that the producers can buy. It says nothing about the movie other than that it was made by a big and rich studio.
