Everything, Everywhere, All At Once:
I'm not going to lie to you, when the subtitles appeared at the bottom of the screen through a cacophonic cloud of Chinese chatter, I nearly switched off 'Everything, Everywhere All at Once', at once. I would like to say I was provoked out of solidarity for my illiterate brothers & sisters around the world, but in truth, I nearly missed out on watching one of the coolest films I've seen in a long time, simply because I was feeling too lazy to read. (Maybe a bit like you and this article?) Ok, and a little bit of me worried that the Chinese government might try to brainwash me through subliminal messaging and as a result, I'd find myself outside in the garden in my underpants at 2am, digging a tunnel to Beijing with no memory of how I got there.

In a torch-lit cave deep underground, stagnant decaying air, heavy with the stench of sulphur, penetrates the nostrils of a newly delivered dozen of the Devil's damned delinquents. As the bleary, squinting eyes of this group of pale failures slowly adjust to the dim lighting within the cave, a 'Hell Introduction Officer' stands before them eager to officially welcome them all to Hell.
