How much Cantonese and Mandarin is in Everything Everywhere all at Once?
Can someone that doesn't speak Cantonese nor Mandarin get away with watching the movie without subtitles?
I ask because I am in a foreign country where the movie is shown in English but the subs are in the native language.
Best Answer
For anyone wondering, I went to the cinema to watch it, and while I was able to follow and did enjoy it, it was incredibly frustrating not knowing what was being said for large portions of the film.
I regret watching it this way and wouldn't advise someone to go ahead in the same way.
