Are you multi-a-verse (a term I’ve just invented to describe people who are sick of narratives which feature parallel worlds)? I feel your pain. Still, don’t prejudge this US sleeper hit, a fizzy and churning “verse-jumping” adventure that’s easily one of the best comedies of the year.
Even if you’ve just seen Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, can recite every line from Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse, and count Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five as your bible, you won’t be able to second-guess the emotional trajectory of laundrette-owner Evelyn Quan Wang.
