Everything Everywhere All at Once is about to leave Netflix

Everything Everywhere All at Once is about to leave Netflix. Directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert — known as The Daniels — use the multiverse not as spectacle but as a way to probe a single family's trauma. In the film, laundromat owner Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh) accesses memories and abilities from alternate versions of herself and is pulled into a multiversal conflict that ultimately turns on personal choices.

“I don't care about multiverse movies,” Kwan said, arguing that once every possibility exists, choice loses meaning. The Daniels flip that logic: every bizarre reality, from hot dog fingers to sentient rocks, exists to reveal something about the characters, and even the film’s absurd jokes reinforce its emotional core.

The nihilistic “Everything Bagel” becomes a concrete expression of that dilemma. The film was produced for under $25 million, with the directors leaning on practical, DIY filmmaking rather than large CGI pipelines.
