The film opens with a narrated disclaimer over footage of an opening coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, and reassures the audience that if they die of fright while watching the film, they will receive a free burial service, and it closes on the casket which has a card inside reading "Reserved for You."[1]
Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) move into Eric's palatial country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife; his first wife Marion died when she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the edge of a decorative pond on the estate. At the home they meet Eric's friends, the Reverend Snow (Russ Conway) and his wife (Toni Johnson), as well as Mickey (Alex Nicol), the developmentally disabled gardener. Eric privately mentions to the Snows that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the sudden death of both her parents, and Mrs. Snow reveals that Jenni is very wealthy.
Jenni is disturbed both by Mickey's belief that Marion's ghost wanders the estate and by Marion's self-portrait inside the house, which Jenni believes resembles her mother. When she begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around her house, she believes that Marion is haunting her. Though Eric speculates to Jenni that Mickey, who was a childhood friend of Marion and thus dislikes Jenni, may be behind the trickery, Jenni worries that she is going insane. Eric then suggests to remove Marion's self-portrait from the home. Eric and Jenni take the painting outside and burn it. While they clean up the remains of the painting, a skull emerges from the ashes. While Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints and Eric withdraws the skull and hides it, revealing that he was responsible for the trickery all along in an effort to get hold of her wealth.
Believing she has finally lost her sanity, Jenni resolves to be committed. She tells Eric that the entire property will be meticulously searched for the skull as a last resort. Before Eric can retrieve it, Mickey secretly steals the skull and brings it to the Reverend, revealing Eric's plans. That night, Eric prepares to murder Jenni and stage it as a suicide. Jenni sees Marion's ghost in Mickey's greenhouse and flees back to the house. When she enters, Eric begins throttling her. The ghost then appears and chases Eric outside and about the property; it finally corners and attacks him, drowning him in the decorative pond.
After Jenni regains consciousness, the Snows arrive. Mrs. Snow comforts a hysterical Jenni and the Reverend discovers Eric's body in the pond. Some undisclosed time later, Jenni and the Snows depart from the house. Reverend Snow declares whether or not Marion's death was an accident will remain a mystery.
看到后面也没懂，母亲为什么不能放下女儿，过好自己的生活，彼此安好。爱真能改变和拯救一切么？
如何把东亚原生家庭之痛融入好莱坞主流叙事，比turning red出彩的是母亲对爷爷说出英雄独白后，女儿反批“你只是（借我）摆脱了自己的烂摊子！”，于我这才是真正瓦解了家庭中的“权威母亲”。HE依旧归功于宇宙中最神秘的力量——（母）爱，但我还是没能避免去想：人为什么非要生孩子【也很好奇为什么不来一个没有孩子的宇宙】
pps：小概率无厘头随机事件可以引发宇宙精神穿越，绝了。
看到二十分钟的时候我有点困，看到第一个小时依然没被吸引。设定不能说新颖，剧情不能说感人，对亚裔的印象也还是以前那套。
如果停止于石头宇宙可能就非常完美了，不管是情绪还是意图上都有那么一丢丢的哲思味，后面无休无止的爱与善良着实看得人上火，前面无论是创意还是痛感都落实的足够到位，其实脑洞还好，令人赞叹的还是拍摄，剪辑等各部门的完美配合，当然说到底这样的电影还是很难看到的，惊喜。
用最出奇的形式讲了一个内核最传统的故事。过程真的屡次突破预期且超级好笑，完全值得五星。只是如此天马行空的想象力最后迎来一个无趣的结局，还是感觉非常可惜。丈夫这个角色没有存在的意义也撑不起这么重要的戏份。女儿不应该需要母爱来拯救，就放她去往bagel的另一面不好吗…虽然讲的是同一个故事，但相比之下Turning Red在意识上要更有突破性。
2.美籍华人奴颜婢膝，明明中国进入2022年了，他们却仿佛被遗弃在旧金山上个世纪的唐人街里
杨紫琼真的是太厉害了，非常棒的表演，完全瓦解儒家家庭价值观，去他妈的多重宇宙，我要我想要的生活。
神tm过瘾！天马行空都不足以形容影片的脑洞，刨去那些恰到好处，信手拈来的动作喜剧娱乐成分，以及那些让人爆笑的羊具豹局屎尿屁，影片触及到了之前所有电影从未触及到的境界（攻壳机动队1995、黑客帝国曾无限接近），当无限的everything、everywhere完全all at once，飓风可以娴静，核爆可以安宁，一片落叶可以狂躁和癫狂……生命和宇宙无限的选择和可能、人类的愉悦和尘埃的悲伤、蚍蜉的喧腾和石头的孤独、新生的蓬勃和毁灭的悲壮，时刻交织转换，形种相通，一切变得极富意义又毫无意义。就像那两块缄默的石头，在无声中用最肮脏的笑话来嘲笑人类的渺小与愚蠢。
真正属于21世纪的电影，一切都是21世纪的，一部真正的杰作！太精彩了！绝对的时代精神！
她的丈夫还是以前的丈夫，她的女儿还是以前的女儿，她的生活还是以前的生活。
用天马行空的方式，讲了一个关于包容、理解和放手的故事，但对我来说，共情度为零。那些炫技式的剪辑，杂耍般的动作场面，还有直白的鸡汤台词，都像劣质冰激凌一样，似乎香气扑鼻，但口味廉价，毫无回味。
乱糟糟，闹哄哄，一场游戏一场梦，两个石头两个蛋，扯吧。
唯电影能拯救情绪。虽然花里胡哨但我很吃这套。Everything, Everywhere, 打动我们的都是all at once的那一瞬间，是I will let you go; 是 I won’t let you go.
3.5；花式剪辑秀得眼花缭乱，后半部流于疲软，核心概念是日渐流俗的东亚家庭文化+西方生活环境的对撞与糅合，lgbt更是正确到不能再正确的元素——因此无论视效看起来有多么炫酷，本质上并无质的创新，不过以一种开脑洞的天马行空去描摹母女关系还是值得鼓励的；最喜欢两块石头的桥段，希望爱不要成为捆绑自由的借口，希望在每个平行宇宙里我们都不必再勉强自己做超人，希望每个人都能安安静静地做一事无成的自己。
烂得完全看不进去，黑胖矮LGBT女儿的选角就是一个开屏雷击，中英文夹杂的“协和语”再次令我感到不适（你们干脆全英文吧，这样我听着也舒服点），到了回忆杀杨紫琼扮嫩的戏码我属实绷不住了，要么换演员，要么用特效做年轻一点不行吗？接下来我已经懒得关注这个片子如何阐述美式价值观了，北美高华拍的伪华人片以后可以避雷。
年轻一代的沮丧虚无在电影里似乎是不言自明的东西，也是整个故事的前提（尽管看上去她过得并不那么糟）。于是就忍不住从代际的角度来想，的确混同杂交了许多新旧语法（亚洲电影、游戏、动画），讲出了今天这一代的感受，之前的社会一再失信于人，不愿多做挣扎，情感的空心化等等。也因此觉得结局并不令人信服，又走上好莱坞的老套路了。
结束在两块石头那里就好了。
太洋气了吧！！太好看了吧！！！杨紫琼女儿有几套衣服可以给女团当打歌服
用爱作结，还是过于轻巧了。可能实在找不到应对虚无的答案，故事无法结尾吧。除了结尾，本作还是相当鬼才和富有诗意的。
