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.
我不管啊谁懂！用科幻构思、虚无主义、多重空间来包裹一场母女吵架，思维伴随着眼花缭乱的剪辑极端荒唐下去，女人在多重宇宙里看见自己的无数可能只是一个开始，后面更像是描绘一场女人的革命，变成石头是最消极的后果但同时也是最安详和平的宿命。不得不说后半部分的落脚点确实有点无聊，但是谁懂，电影终于肯脱离父与子的精神联结而转向去谈母亲孩子，并理解母亲。爱虽然俗却会让人哭。
华裔的毁天灭地来得太文明了，选战场也仅限于IRS的office。
我从贝果里离开，不是因为你强行抱着不让我走，而是我选择回头向你伸出手。悖论的是片子的受众大部分都是那个喊着let me go的女儿，而更需要去学习“爱非控制”的长辈大部分在第一趴就会睡过去。说实话，观影体验低于期待值，但，在平行宇宙的概念下用东亚家庭的困境去探讨存在与虚无，最终又以世俗化的东西方大杂糅的共性“爱”（广义上）来解决这个哲学家们都没给出答案的终极问题，有意思的尝试。要么成为贝果，nothing matters；要么feeling a good thing，哪怕以此获得的小小希望最终会走向下一次的绝望，悲观主义与乐观主义永恒的对决。
看完深深感慨“妈的多重宇宙”这个译名也太妙了，和这部电影一样妙。
创意十足但剧情太弱了 讨厌把爱当成解决一切问题的最后大招.
1.全体亚裔都是什么鸟语，听中文得看英文，中国人比美国人难受
文本不想说了，东亚病+女德大电影…制作不错，但真的不新鲜，Rick and Morty20分钟做出来的东西比这个两小时的电影精彩深刻100倍。
3.心目中的2022年最佳电影。理解透了华人的矛盾情感，重视家庭，却又过度望女成凤。自己无奈妥协于现实，却又逼迫子女去做不想做的事情。这不就是黄皮肤版的《蜘蛛侠：平行宇宙》+《soul》。
玩飞的时候肆意妄为，时不时来一下的恶趣味更添情趣。但是最后给我的感觉，是母亲的一生还是被禁锢在母职里无法逃脱，我们经历了千百万种可能，一遍遍的追根溯源，可最后仅落脚于理想化的亲情中。抱歉，爱并不能拯救一切。反而觉得华人家庭中的女性就是那个贝果，所有的东西都压在上面，最终成为了一个吞噬掉自己的黑洞。
年度十佳之三 从中看出太多东西了 但最重要的是如何为了一个具体的东西抛弃手握住的所有可能性 现代稀缺 但这似乎就是我们自己的父母 “因为一无所成 所以潜力所达可以做到任何事” 前期只是在铺垫如果女主可以 会怎样 反派因为可以所以怎样 但后来就变成了如果我无所不能 但我还是选择那个最确定的珍贵的东西 只能选择洗衣店和经历一切后选择洗衣店太不一样了/无论反派还是女主 每个人的愿望都是那么朴素 女儿想要母亲共情 从此不再孤单 丈夫用善意对抗世界所以被视为软弱 人们用看似或笨拙或狡黠的方式交流 只是想离身边人更近一点而已 而爱也被看作宇宙终极奥义 就像能力可以multiuniverse 爱可以普度众生 也可只分给特定的人/临近结尾女主靠怪癖驯服所有人给我看笑了 只要找对人 没有哪种爱是不对的
pps：小概率无厘头随机事件可以引发宇宙精神穿越，绝了。
一分钟说明白的故事（姑且算是有故事），注了两个多小时的特效水，我不是不喜欢看科幻特效，只是觉得这片用的太泛滥了，是那种无理由的无处不在（不明白为什么）。而且元宇宙也不算啥科幻了。
当所有的混沌都选择回归常态的时候，我想知道我们这个时空何时能冲破铁笼，大梦初醒，涅槃重生
导演的自嗨宇宙。核心创意像《千年女优》，母女关系的部分处理的毫不打动人，中间还夹杂着毫无必要的导演恶趣味。
真的就是部三星电影，和《摘金奇缘》一样，拍给美籍亚裔的人看的，与遥远的东方关系不大。
看完深深感慨“妈的多重宇宙”这个译名也太妙了，和这部电影一样妙。
像是导演编剧集体抽完大麻后整出来的一堆自以为很有想象力的东西，太混乱了，看得人很累，不喜欢低俗梗，讨厌刻板印象，厌倦了用爱感化世界的俗套结尾，get不到
父母不看好，自有几分道理，嫁给软弱之人，并非明智之举，婚姻向下兼容，无异于自废武功。幻想生活在别处，抚平伤痕，弥补关系，悦纳认同，找寻宇宙，超越建立在失败之上，这正是意义所在。
以顛覆陽剛形象解構陽剛氣質；
最喜欢她俩变成石头的时候，没有人要求你必须做点什么，可是人就想要不停地做些什么，其实本来也就没有必要一直做些什么；
