Screening as part of our Art of Action season.

A hilarious and big-hearted adventure about an exhausted Chinese American woman (Michelle Yeoh) who is swept up in an insane adventure, where she alone can save the world by exploring other universes connecting with the lives she could have led.

With her laundromat teetering on the brink of failure and her marriage to wimpy husband Waymond on the rocks, overworked Evelyn Wang struggles to cope with everything, including a tattered relationship with her judgmental father Gong Gong and Joy, her daughter. And as if facing a gloomy midlife crisis wasn't enough, Evelyn must brace herself up for an unpleasant meeting with an impersonal bureaucrat: Deirdre, the shabbily dressed IRS auditor played to perfection by Jamie Lee Curtis.

However, as the stern agent loses patience, an inexplicable multiverse rift becomes an eye-opening exploration of parallel realities full of amazing VFX alongside brillaint stunt work from Yeoh and all the lead characters. A tour de force you can watch and rewatch.

"One of my top films of 2022. It is a hilarious visual feast. The film ultimately explores that strange feeling of how beautiful and meaningless everything is all at the same time. It leaves you feeling full of love for your fellow humans" - filmmaker Rebecca E Marshall
