While the film's vision is absolutely unique and funny as hell, there are a number of cinematic offerings that could call Daniels' latest as a spiritual companion for one reason or another. As such, I've assembled 22 movies that just might make a perfect double feature with Everything Everywhere All at Once, if you so dare!

Honorable Mention: The Farewell

Lulu Wang's phenomenal dramatic comedy follows a Chinese-American woman returning to her family in China for an impromptu wedding that is secretly a front to celebrate their grandmother, who was unknowingly diagnosed with terminal cancer. The film is definitely unconventional and hits many similar comedic and tragic beats as Everything Everywhere All at Once, but definitely lacks the WTF factor to ensure its proper inclusion on the list.

A testament to the heart and determination of independent filmmakers, One Cut of the Dead is one of those movies that works best with the less you know going in, but shares much of the spirit and wonder that fills every frame of Everything Everywhere All at Once.
