Fired up Netflix to watch Knives Out but ended up watching EEAAO instead lol

Was scrolling through the list looking for something to watch and was surprised.

I had mentally shelved EEAAO as something to watch later, and only just realized it was still sitting there, unwatched.

If you put aside all the noise about the multiverse and the alphaverse,

it’s a ridiculously standard family film narrative where the headache-inducing and frustrating opening sequences all converge into a happy, laughing ending.

What fills that structure perfectly matches the character dynamics and themes,

but the composition and directorial finesse felt like they carried the raw prototype of the ideas, making you wonder if it was even okay to go that far.

For me, this is the type of movie that hits a level you just don't see anywhere else, maybe one that pops up every four or five years.

You could learn so much just by dissecting each sequence, but when you taste the *budae jjigae* stew broth they made by throwing all of it together, it makes you bow down again.

How high up were they looking down from, waving that conductor's baton?

It’s a film that gives you a pleasant feeling of awe-filled defeat just by trying to guess their process.

The husband at the start of the movie seems like a useless tool—the type who doesn't lift a finger around the house and just sticks googly eyes on the washing machine for no reason.

He just looks like a total idiot simpleton.

But by the end, Waymond, with his crooked glasses and goofy smile, is just impossibly lovable.

That’s why Michelle Yeoh's long kiss scene felt so overwhelming.

It must be because we fully experienced the transformation of Evelyn's thoughts and perspective alongside her, like being tossed and covered by waves.

Five stars. FR, this sh*t is lethal.
