Same here. I got extremely annoyed with the constant ridiculous fight scenes. About halfway through I gave up.

It's Children of Men crossed with The Big Lebowski, with Pynchon instead of noir characters. When you get what it's trying to do, it gets better.

I bounced off of it at first, but I bounced (hard) off of Lebowksi as well.

I don't think it's PTA's best film (or that I will come around to that opinion eventually), but it's pretty good.

PTA did not make Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Oof, I got my wires crossed. Nothing I said makes any sense in the context of EEAaO. I was thinking of OBAA. Thanks!

Me too. Extremely loud, lots of flashing and fast cuts.

I genuinely didn’t really think there was a story, just spectacle.

Agreed. Not as good a film as it was advertised to be.

Me too. And love pulp fiction. Just used Mr. Wolf to reference a situation at work.

The "OK, let's not start sucking... yet " is the one that comes to mind during production fires but can't use that one at work unfortunately
