A Multiverse of Perspectives: Cinema Therapy, Cultural Identity, and Family Healing With Everything Everywhere All at Once

As we journey alongside the characters in Everything Everywhere All at Once , we draw parallels with our experience as an immigrant and the child of an immigrant. We are often confused, feel fragmented and mourn for what could have been in alternative life paths, like Evelyn in the film's multiverse. In this article, we aim to explore intergenerational trauma, conflicted identities, LGBTQ2S+ acceptance within immigrant families, and eventual self-empowerment. Through narrative analysis, we hope to contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of cinema therapy in family therapy, especially for immigrant families.
