Rating : 7/10
Obviously, what first grabbed my attention towards this movie is that it has won numerous awards at the Oscars 2023. I went into watching this without any knowledge of the story or the genre. I was so so surprised to see two of my favorite topics/concepts explored in a novel and arcane way. They are : Sentimental drama and Hardcore science fiction(multiverse/apha verse). I was definitely not expecting to see the main characters jumping between multiple universes grabbing whatever skills needed to deal with the current situation in their current universe which is whereever.
I felt that the soul to this movie is the involved acting of the lead characters. And the film editing along with screenplay played a paramount role in delivering this masterpiece. The mother daughter sentiment towards the end brought tears to my eyes. It was so brilliantly portrayed - not just in one universe, but like an initial mistake corrected/redeemed everywhere. I also liked kindness and love trumping hatred and war. Too many ideas are brought together but they all fall effortlessly in line.
The reason for deducting any points from my rating of an absolute 10 is there are a couple of scenes I cringed from. They are absolutely indecent and unspeakably vile. I also think the ending doesn't work. There can be no escape for these agents of multiverse from always being active multiverse-ly I think. Though the ending is good I think the rules of the game don't work that way!
Awards won by this movie at the Academy Awards 2023
