This indie favourite stars the magnificent Michelle Yeoh at her energetic best as Evelyn Wang, dealing with her demanding family, their laundrette business and an unfriendly tax office, and at the same time finding herself becoming the reluctant and unlikely saviour of the multiverse! This indie favourite is attention-grabbing and frenetic from the outset, packed full of rapid-fire ideas and creative delivery, with inventive visuals, unexpected camerawork and dynamic use of sound, with an unexpected eclectic mix of references from Ratatouille to The One to Wong Kar- Wai. It offers such a relentless barrage of beguiling and surreal ideas that it careers along in a hugely entertaining and offbeat manner, with mention for Jamie Lee Curtis at her comedy character best as the relentless tax officer. The film is inventive, laugh-out-loud silly at times and simply a pure blast of cinematic fun yet - bizarrely - also utterly life-affirming by the end.
