All of Us Strangers (Andrew Haigh)
There are many films about the devastating effects of the AIDS crisis, but very few that grapple with the loneliness of those left behind or came of age as it began to make headlines. Through supernatural metaphor, Andrew Haigh’s latest––and best––film tackles the existential displacement of a gay man (Andrew Scott) fast approaching middle age, his isolation only underlined by the near-abandoned tower block in which he lives. His friends have long moved out of the city, he has to maneuver a generational divide with a new, younger romantic partner (Paul Mescal) whose adolescence was far different to his, and he feels a longing to return to his childhood and come out to...

Afire (Christian Petzold)
Writing recently about the introduction of video umpires in baseball, of all things, Zach Helfand was skeptical: “accuracy is not the same as enjoyment,” he wrote, “baseball is meant to kill time, not maximize it.” The best films of German director Christian Petzold do both, though you sense his heart might belong to the latter. Petzold’s latest, Afire, unfurls with all the page-turning seduction of a gripping novella. It stars Thomas Schubert as a struggling writer who travels with a friend to a secluded house near the Baltic Sea. Their car breaks down. They encounter a beautiful woman. Somewhere in the distance, a forest fire rages. Soon, inevitably, another burns inside. – Rory O. (full review)

I wouldn’t expect to see too many striking celebrities dressed up as your favorite characters for Halloween because SAG-AFTRA is asking members to adhere to the organization’s newly released guidelines about the costume-centric holiday. Suppose you’re on the picket line and hope to “celebrate Halloween this year while also staying in solidarity” with the strike. In that case, SAG-AFTRA asks that you “choose costumes inspired by generalized characters and figures.”
The guide also suggests actors “don’t post photos of costumes inspired by struck content to social media,” to help deny promotion for struck studios. If a generalized character doesn’t float your boat, the rules say group members could “dress up as characters from non-struck content, like an animated TV show.”
While SAG-AFTRA frowns on members dressing like Margot Robbie’s Barbie (one of the most popular costume options of 2023, according to Spirit Halloween), they can...

A rare and extensive animation collection from Steven Spielberg, Shirley Kurata’s Oscar-nominated costumes from 2022 Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once, a blacklisted writer’s original Oscar statuette from 1958’s The Defiant Ones and the more than 700-film collection of legendary film scholar and Honorary Oscar recipient Kevin Brownlow are just a few of the latest donations to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ vast collections housed at the Margaret Herrick Library on Beverly Hills, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and the Academy Film Archive.

"Everything Everywhere All at Once" broke nearly every barrier imaginable in the film world with its groundbreaking debut in 2022, followed by its epic award season run this year. From its best picture Oscar win to increased visibility for Asian performers in Hollywood, the blockbuster movie opened up more doors for diverse storytelling on the silver screen. But, sadly, it seems "Everything Everywhere All at Once" will be a one-of-one kind of project, as lead star Michelle Yeoh recently revealed there won't be a follow-up to the A24 feature film.
"There's no sequel," said Yeoh, who played Evelyn Wang, rejecting the idea during an interview with Variety (published on May 21) at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. "We would just be doing the same thing."
Yeoh isn't the only "Everything Everywhere All at Once" star to shoot down the concept of a sequel. On July 3, 2022, directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert clarified that...

"If this is your passion, if this is your love, you have to stand up for yourself, and for what you believe, and for what you want to do. I'm still here today. Finally, after 40 years, I get this! It just goes to show we will win the battle. And that's what we're doing. So don't give up."

The outpouring of love and support for Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh truly was “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
Yeoh FaceTimed her mother immediately following her Best Actress win and becoming the first Asian woman to receive the award. “I have to dedicate this to my mom — all the moms in the world — because they are really the superheroes. And without them, none of us would be here tonight,” Yeoh said in her acceptance speech onstage.
She continued about her mother Janet Yeoh, “She’s 84. And I’m taking this home to her. She’s watching right now in Malaysia, Kl, with my family and friends. I love you guys, I’m taking this home to you.”
Following the win, Yeoh then called her mother Janet directly, which was caught by Cna’s Malaysia bureau chief Melissa Goh’s camera. Janet told Yeoh, “Malaysia boleh,” which translates to “Malaysia can do it!

“I’m very happy for her,” said Hung. “She had talent from the very beginning and we could all see that. We have never had many Chinese people standing on this [Oscars] stage. I hope this means there will be many more from now on.”

In an appearance backstage at the Oscars following seven wins for Everything Everywhere All at Once — the most in a year for any title since 2013’s Gravity — filmmaker Dan Kwan and producer Jonathan Wang spoke about their drive to use the explosively joyful feature to address some of the more dark and difficult aspects of life.
The question was directed to the pic’s writer, director and producer Kwan, with reference to mention he’d made on stage earlier in the night of his struggles with insecurities and mental health issues. “I think we’re in a mental health crisis right now,” observed the creative. “Especially the younger generation, they don’t have much to look forward to. When you talk to students these days, there’s a bleakness that kind of is all-pervasive.”

Yeoh took home the first Academy Award of her celebrated career, for best actress in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The honor came after a long career in martial arts and action movies like “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” and “Yes, Madam.”
Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the zany sci-fi adventure centers on Yeoh’s Evelyn Wang, a middle-aged laundromat owner who, while being audited by the IRS, discovers she has to connect with versions of herself from parallel universes to prevent cataclysmic destruction.
“For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities,” Yeoh said from the stage. “This is proof that dreams do come true. And ladies, don’t let anybody tell you that you are ever past your prime.

On March 11, 2022, exactly one year and one day before the 95th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, a supercharged and wacky movie called “Everything Everywhere All at Once” premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival. The second feature from a pair of music-video directors whose first film, “Swiss Army Man,” was mostly known as the flick in which Daniel Radcliffe played a farting corpse, it was an ideal SXSW movie, a chaotic genre mishmash that, in the words of Wrap reviewer Robert Abele, “swirls sci-fi, metaphysics, martial arts, slapstick, star power, and pop culture shout-outs into the type of experience that one can imagine the late exhibition gimmick impresario William Castle — he who notoriously wired theater seats so they buzzed — responding with, ‘Yeah, this doesn’t need my help.’”

If Michelle Yeoh makes history with an Oscar win this weekend, she says it won’t just be for her, but for all Asians.
Yeoh, the first woman who identifies as Asian to receive an Oscar acting nomination, is now the frontrunner in the Best Leading Actress category, after winning at both the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
In the film Everything Everywhere All At Once, she plays Evelyn Wang, a Chinese-American immigrant who becomes the film’s unlikely hero after being swept into a surprising multiverse – a role Yeoh says reflects her challenge to be recognised in Hollywood, following her success in Chinese-language films.
Yeoh told the BBC, “You want to have that seat at the table, so you can have the privilege to be seen and heard. What I’m asking for is the privilege to compete.”
Regarding her recognition this year, and the prospect...

Thirteen years into their filmmaking partnership and seven years after making their feature debut with the Sundance Film Festival Award-winning “Swiss Army Man,” Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert are now Oscar nominees thanks to their hit sophomore film, “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The sci-fi comedy leads the pack this year in terms of Oscar bids, with a total of 11 including three for the Daniels’ writing, directing and producing work. If the duo are honored in Best Director, it would make for the third such instance in the category’s history, following the victories of Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise and Ethan Coen and Joel Coen.
The Daniels’ challengers in this directing contest are Todd Field (“Tar”), Martin McDonagh (“The Banshees of Inisherin”), Ruben Ostlund (“Triangle of Sadness”) and Steven Spielberg (“The Fabelmans”). Ostlund is the only other general first-time Oscar nominee in the group, while Spielberg is the only returning directing contender,...

At a stage that for most actresses signals the beginning of the end, it’s perhaps no accident that Michelle Yeoh is reaching even higher heights, 40 years into her career. There’s something about Yeoh as Mother that transcends, in every shading and variation: cool and elegant in Crazy Rich Asians, imperious and twisted in Star Trek: Discovery, harried and bewildered in Everything Everywhere All at Once. In every version she is elementally familiar, particularly to my generation. She resembles the mother we have or the one we want, the kind we fear or crave, or both.
Four years ago, after I got engaged initially without my parents’ blessing, I wrote about how Crazy Rich Asians brought painful clarity to my own standoff, caught between romance and family. Much of my epiphany was fueled by Yeoh’s exquisite portrayal of Eleanor Young — her unyieldingly lofty standards for her child’s welfare,...

Michelle Yeoh divides fans after sharing article saying that Cate Blanchett ‘already has two Oscars’
Michelle Yeoh shared, and then swiftly deleted, snippets from an article on Instagram, in which it was noted that her Academy Awards competitor Cate Blanchett “already has two Oscars”.
Yeoh has drawn criticism for the post, originally shared on 7 March, because she is competing with Blanchett for the Best Actress prize at the Academy Awards later this month.
The article that Yeoh shared was Vogue’s 6 March piece, titled “It’s Been Over Two Decades Since We’ve Had a Non-White Best Actress Winner. Will That Change in 2023?”
Yeoh, who is nominated at the 2023 Academy Awards for her role as Evelyn Wang in Everything Everywhere All At Once, shared a number of excerpts from the article on Instagram, in a post seen by The Independent.
In her caption, Yeoh wrote: “This is not just for me, this is for every little girl that looks like me... We want to be seen.

One of the largest surprises on Oscar nomination morning was the inclusion of Andrea Riseborough in the Best Actress lineup for her performance as the disgraced lottery winner and alcoholic Leslie Rowlands in “To Leslie.” Precious few awards pundits thought she was a serious contender for a bid, despite a well-publicized social media campaign from her various friends and colleagues in the industry. Can Riseborough now pull a last-minute Best Actress Oscar upset?
Academy voters who may not have sought out “To Leslie” prior to the noms suddenly have a valid reason to watch the film, which puts her performance firmly in their mind’s eye. Her main competition, front-runners Cate Blanchett (playing the titular Lydia Tár in “Tár”) and Michelle Yeoh (portraying the universe hopping Evelyn Wang in “Everything Everywhere All at Once”) premiered several months ago, along with the others in the category (Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe...

As soon as “Everything Everywhere All at Once” became this year’s Oscar nominations leader with 11 bids in 10 categories, pundits began pointing to the unfortunate fact that only one-third of 21st century films that got the most nominations have actually gone on to win Best Picture. However, the prospect of it becoming the first entrant on that list since 2017’s “The Shape of Water” has been increasingly bolstered by outpourings of industry support, most notably in the form of a record-breaking four SAG Award wins. Along with its crucial victories at this year’s PGA and DGA Awards, it appears primed to defy the historic odds.

Ke Huy Quan has won pretty much every award you could possibly win in a season for his supporting performance in Daniels’ “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” the likely Best Picture winner at this year’s Oscars. And he just won Best Supporting Performance at the Film Independent Spirit Awards — which this year un-gendered their acting categories — for his turn in the beloved A24 film. In the film, he plays Waymond Wang, the jaunty counterpart to Michelle Yeoh’s perhaps existentially darker Evelyn Wang, who plays his wife.
Backstage at the Film Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on Saturday, Quan was largely unflappable, considering he’s gone through the awards gauntlet to a wild degree, winning SAG, Critics Choice, BAFTA, and many other significant prizes along the road in recent weeks. He’s not jaded about it at all — and is even grateful, as the former “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom...

Michelle Yeoh was already a star overseas by 1997 thanks to popular Hong Kong movies like “Police Story 3: Super Cop” and “Supercop 2,” but it wasn’t until the James Bond tentpole “Tomorrow Never Dies” opened that year that Yeoh had her Hollywood breakthrough. The actor played Wai Lin, a Chinese spy who is highly skilled in marital arts and bucks every “damsel in distress” and “Bond girl” stereotype.
“The first movie I did after I came to America was ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’ with Pierce Brosnan,” Yeoh recently told People magazine. “James Bond at that point had only been known as macho, and the girls were just the ones with cutesy names.”
Although Yeoh was praised for her progressive and action-ready Bond girl, she told People that the Hollywood offers that followed were exactly the opposite.

Continuing our look at the below-the-line crafts categories at this year’s Oscars, we get to film editing. The editor(s) on a movie are frequently the most important collaborators with a director. The director and editor will frequently sit in an edit bay for hours, days, and even months to craft the pace and feel of a movie until it’s just right, as is the case with the five movies nominated this year.

Donnie Yen didn’t want to perpetuate “generic”-sounding stereotypes onscreen.
The star of “John Wick: Chapter 4” revealed that he asked director Chad Stahelski to change his character’s name to a more “normal” moniker of Caine.
“The name was Shang or Chang,” Yen told GQ. “Why does he always have to be called Shang or Chang? Why can’t he have a normal name? Why do you have to be so generic?”
And the suggested changes didn’t just stop at the character’s name: Yen asked the “John Wick” team to reimagine his role on a sartorial level.
“Then the wardrobe again — oh, mandarin collars. Why is everything so generic? This is a ‘John Wick’ movie. Everybody’s supposed to be cool and fashionable,” Yen said. “Why can’t he look cool and fashionable?”
With Stahelski’s approval, Yen turned his character Caine into an homage of Bruce Lee.

Michelle Yeoh said she didn’t work for “almost two years” in the 1990s due to all the “stereotypical roles” offered to her in the US.
The 60-year-old actor said people couldn’t tell the difference between whether she “was Chinese or Japanese or Korean or if I even spoke English” at the time.
“They would talk very loudly and very slow,” Yeoh told People.
The Everything Everywhere All at Once star said she was resistant to being typecast, so she didn’t end up working for almost two years until the 2000 film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon came along.
“I didn’t work for almost two years, until Crouching Tiger, simply because I could not agree with the stereotypical roles that were put forward to me,” Yeoh said.

There was a running joke between Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert during the first week of shooting “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” After a successful first read-through, and perfect shots and framework, the two would turn to each other and whisper, “this is nonstop entertainment.” And even though they weren’t successful in getting a cameo of their “Swiss Army Man” leading men Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano into the film, the joke is God’s honest truth.
On this episode of the award-winning Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, we sit down with “Everything Everywhere All at Once” directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. The dynamic duo talks about the origins of their collaboration which began in film school, assembling their outstanding cast and artisans ensemble and what’s next for them in the film and television space.
Listen below, and watch the full conversation above.
