The newest A24 film, Everything Everywhere All At Once, garnered critical praise, audience enjoyment, and buzz like no other indie film this year. This is all thanks to the marketing and exceptional selections of film distribution company A24, which now has a substantial relationship with the film’s directors, particularly Daniel Scheinert (who also directed Swiss Army Man and The Death of Dick Long for this company). To celebrate this amazing new film, here is a list of movies released by A24 that begin to sum up its already legendary legacy.
