If you've been putting off watching the multiverse movie that swept the Oscars, your time is running out. Everything Everywhere All at Once, the genre-bending A24 sensation, is set to leave HBO Max on July 1, 2026. That gives you just a few weeks to experience one of the most inventive sci-fi films of the decade.
Directed by the duo known as Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), the film stars Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn Wang, a laundromat owner who discovers she can access the memories and skills of alternate-universe versions of herself. What follows is a wild, emotional ride through hot-dog-fingered worlds, talking rocks, and IRS audits—all while exploring family, regret, and the meaning of existence.
The movie was a box office phenomenon, grossing over $140 million worldwide on a modest $20 million budget. It became A24's highest-grossing film until it was surpassed by Marty Supreme (starring Timothée Chalamet) and later the low-budget horror hit Backrooms, which earned over $300 million. Still, Everything Everywhere All at Once remains a landmark for indie cinema and a testament to the power of original storytelling.
At the 95th Academy Awards, the film earned 11 nominations and won seven, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress for Yeoh, and supporting actor wins for Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis. It holds a 93% Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics calling it an expertly calibrated assault on the senses. For fans of cinematic masterpieces in sci-fi, this is a must-watch.
Why You Should Watch Before It's Gone
Beyond its awards haul, the film is a cultural touchstone that redefined what a multiverse story can be. Unlike the interconnected superhero universes we've grown used to, Everything Everywhere All at Once uses its premise to explore deeply human themes—love, loss, and the choices that shape us. It's funny, heartbreaking, and utterly unique.
