Everything Everywhere All at Once, Fire of Love, RRR - Southeastern Film Critic’s Association 2022 Awards
Everything Everywhere All at Once, Fire of Love, RRR

Everything Everywhere All At Once was named the best picture of 2022 in the annual poll of the 84 members of the Southeastern Film Critic’s Association (SEFCA). The critics association also awarded Michelle Yeoh the honor of Best Actress, Key Huy Quan won Best Supporting Actor, and Daniel Kwan and Daniel Sheinert won for Best Director and Best Screenplay.

Other awards went to Fire of Love for Best Documentary, RRR for Best Foreign-Language Film.

“Personally, I am thrilled SEFCA recognized Everything Everywhere All at Once in so many categories,” says SEFCA President Matt Goldberg. “As film critics, one of the best things we can do is celebrate films that push the boundaries of narrative and genre. We hope that our voice can pull in viewers who may not normally check out a film where two women with hot dog fingers figure out their relationship. As strange as the film can be, its core message of embracing the richness of our relationships in the face of nihilistic apathy will endure far beyond this year’s award season.”
