The only thing they have in common is that they're both good films with good special effects. The maximalist filmmaking to portray all the different life paths was very well done, especially the way it was slightly disorienting. And the pacing and exposition was way tighter than most films (especially The Matrix, which I watched recently and it really drags in parts.) The stakes are high throughout and despite that it retains a sense of fun.

The use of the multiverse to tell an immigrant story was really powerful, way beyond just being "some mushy stuff about family and depression" — the specific family and the specific rift matters, and not appreciating makes it harder to appreciate a lot of the more subtle decisions that went into the film, like Evelyn's use of English vs Mandarin and how much of an accent she retains.
