Michelle Yeoh’s performance is everything we ever thought we wanted from her and things we didn’t even know we wanted from her in Everything Everywhere All at Once which is ultimately a story of family wrapped in a spectacular maximalist package. Pachinko also covers the story of a family through many branches and generations in Korea and Japan – based on Min Jin Lee’s book.
