With regard to the hordes of people who have praised this film, I've abandoned the idea of the "Emperor's new clothes" or herd dynamics in favour of a medical disorder of epidemic proportions - this being Visual Agnosia. I have of course questioned whether it's a personal failing on my own behalf but dropped this idea following consultation with other likeminded individuals who seem tuned in to the here and now. Let's be clear, I like quirky, and I recognise and appreciate originality, and of course clever humour and emotional depth. These are all central components in my appreciation of a good film. However, I have to say that I recognised none of these characteristics in Everything Everywhere All at once. For me, it was simply a convoluted mess that encompassed some naive notions of "imaginary science" alongside trite everyday woes. As for humour! I guess that's subjective, but banana skin slapstick is hardly sharp-end comedy. And for budding screenwriters, the depth of the dialogue between two incongruous rocks might be an example not to follow.
