I used to make sure I watched the January Man each year on New Years' day. I took pride in liking the film so much when more than one film guide described it using words to the effect 'in the weird movie museum, this film has its own wing'. Everything Everywhere...has its own museum.

Ever been in a group on a project trying to come up with ideas and writing them all down to select the better ones? The writers did that without the selection part. They just used all of the ideas constantly throughout. To say the film lacks focus is to say Mozart wrote some music.

There is a false ending not far from the film's climax that could as easily have been the real thing. I remember watching 8 1/2 and falling asleep for 45 minutes. Never felt like the film made less sense. Everything Everywhere... is like that.
