After traveling across a wasteland of pestilence and famine in search of a mysterious object, a lone woman (Rachel Miller) finds refuge at Seven Bowls Tavern. It becomes apparent after sharing some drinks with a shadowy figure (Krys Bailey) that her arrival was not mere chance. As his stories about the Arte Factum unfold and draw her in, her presence at the tavern begins to attract the horsemen. One by one they ride in and fill Seven Bowls until she decides it’s time to bid them all adios. Wages of Cine presents an anthology of twelve tales that transverse space and time following a mysterious object known as the “Arte Factum”.

Everything Everywhere All at Once is exactly as the title describes, yet unexpectedly so. It's like the Matrix, but with OCD and hallucinogens, plus a heart’s dose of mother-daughter intergenerational intercultural growing pains. Review and cast.
White audiences saw Peola’s mixed-race passing as a Black woman’s struggle to be white. Black audiences saw it as the rebellion of a Black woman trying to gain privileges only given to white people.
I understand that this would have been consistent with the language used by that generation, due to its role in the medical profession, however as someone who has family members with Down Syndrome I took it very personally.
Diana’s spirit has taken off, ‘No right, no wrong, no rules for me.’ And in that moment, as she runs on the screen, she gets it, her ‘Let It Go’ moment.
