I watched it in three parts over two days - Part I: Everything; Part II Everywhere; Part III All At Once

I have no freaking idea about what was going on in this movie.

I came away feeling that I wasted a lot of time.

What the hell was this?

1. My wife and I saw it last night and we felt exactly the same, but the critics love it!

The parallel universe plot was a mess that did nothing to make me care about the fate of the characters. But it's already won a ton of awards and probably going to win Oscars.

2. Wow, we loved it! Maybe you need to watch it again in 1 sitting.

3. What Was It About?....

Raccoon's? Bagels? Not a clue?

8. Every road not taken, every decision not made is happening simultaneously in an

Alternate universe. Every version of yourself is out there and still involves all your loved ones in some capacity. It also has to do with mother daughter angst and accepting the life you have because in the end all is meaningless.

4. I think you need to see it in one sitting.

It does feel very disjointed at first, but, comes together in the last part with a tenderness that I found expressive and touching.

The craziness of our thoughts, family peculiarities, and just functioning in a world of rules and norms that really don’t seem normal from some perspectives.

By the end, I loved it. And loved it more an hour later, then the next day.

6. "It does feel very disjointed at first, but, comes together in the last part" It sounds like

kurt vonnegut movie" Slaughter House 5" It just started off with a bang with no references. It took me a while to figure out the movie started in the middle and jumped all over the place..
YMMV...
I'll check this new movie out...

5. I am in the wth camp.

whatever they were dancing around, it seemed to be that everyone had a concussion

7. It is clearly a statement about how the postmodern mindset has changed our understanding of the past

9. I tried to watch it.

After the initial novelty of the different dimension thing I found it boring and repetitive. There were some humorous bits here and there. I only made it maybe 20 to 30 minutes into the film. I fell asleep watching it and had no interest in finishing it the next day. The whole "Sherman and the Wayback Machine" dimension thing got stale really quickly. I don't think it deserves an Oscar or any other award.

10. I'm in the same dimension with you there. It was a mess.

11. I'm with ya!

I couldn't even finish it. Thought it was a waste of time, even though I only saw 1/2 of it. Looked like it was made by someone with ADD.

12. A ninety-minute idea that's forty-nine minutes too long
