I wouldn't say that EEAAO isn't good. It's definitely above average and very inventive. But it's also the most overrated Hollywood film I've seen since Black Panther.Sonic Youth wrote:Exactly. EEAAO is a "cult" film that has captured a bigger audience share than usual. But it's by no means populist. It's the sort of film (like Birdman) I've been praying for years would win the Best Picture Oscar. Unfortunately (like Birdman), it's no good.Greg wrote:EEAaO hasn't been THAT popular. Top Gun: Maverick, Avatar: The Way Of Water, even Elvis, would be more of the wins for "the people."Big Magilla wrote:A win for Everything Everywhere All at Once is also being seen as the last great hope of a Best Picture winner for "the people" rather than "the snobs". I think it's ridiculous, but I really don't care what wins anymore.
It's patently ridiculous that this is the movie that has the highest score ever in Letterboxd and is steamrolling its opposition on the way to the Oscars.
FTR, it got rather tepid reviews here in Europe and bombed hard at the box office.
