[The following contains spoilers for Everything Everywhere All At Once. Like, all the way up to an important climactic scene near the end. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should just go see it.]
Directing duo Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All At Once is coming to home video next week, on July 5, and A24 is hyping that up by showing off one of its deleted scenes a little early (courtesy of Variety, The scene comes from near the end of the film, when Michelle Yeoh’s Evelyn has realized that she can combat the nihilistic pull of Jobu Tupaki’s everything bagel by empathizing with her attackers and finding what in the multiverse will make them happy.
