     @edsu Yes!
     
     People have watched it. People have said it's just as cool as they'd hoped.

     Especially as Yeoh basically gets the chance to play every character she has played in her career.

     We watched it last night. What a roller-coaster of emotions! Great movie.
     
     Loved the language details! Evelyn and her husband are constantly code-switching between English and Mandarin, she speaks Cantonese to her father, but then the language mixes between English and Chinese languages are also different between universes.

     It's super weird how little attention this film is getting here. It's like:
     
     Sat: 10 Dumbledore, 10 Strange, 5 Batman
     Sun: 10 Dumbledore, 10 Strange, 5 Batman, 1 Everything
     Mon: 10 Dumbledore, 10 Strange, 5 Batman, 1 Everything
     
     And that's the cinema chain that shows the movie at all!
     
     And it's showing at like 3 pm or 5 pm.
     
     I would have thought Hongkongers would love this film. Ok, she is not from here and she is not a native Cantonese speaker, but she has been in HK movies, is a martial arts actor and is one of the most famous and coolest ethnic Chinese in Hollywood.

     It is heartfelt and hilarious, although some parts are 80s-HK-movie silly, not in a good way, and some parts might be too long. I admired the bravery of one particular part being long and slow and I was happy to note that the audience seemed to appreciate it too.
     
     The kid loved it. He described it as a Rick and Morty movie. =)

     On the surface level this is "Sliding Doors" turned to eleven, plus technobabble, plus silliness, plus kung fu, but behind that it is still Sliding Doors, about free will and choices and destiny.
     
     But behind even that it is specifically about the challenges of culture shock, integration, family, generation gaps, seeing each other and seeing each other's point of view. And that's what I found beautiful about it.
     
     It is enjoyable at either one of these levels, pick one or all, up to you. The kung fu badassery alone is a good enough movie to watch.
