A genre-bending film offering a surreal and exhilarating exploration of identity and existence.

Unfortunately, this sweeps her up into an even bigger adventure when she finds herself lost in the infinite worlds of the multiverse.
“powered by the greatest performance that Michelle Yeoh has ever given… bold and without boundaries… a movie that celebrates the infinite possibilities of its medium”
—David Ehrlich for IndieWire
