I would defend Everything because most sci-fi (multi-universe) has been done before - Star Trek, Doctor Who and so on. But then most good sci-fi just has this as a top layer.

AO Scott noted, "the movie is a metaphysical multiverse galaxy-brain head trip, but deep down — and also right on the surface — it's a bittersweet domestic drama, a marital comedy, a story of immigrant striving and a hurt-filled ballad of mother-daughter love." And it is here where the film's heartbeat lies. I will probably up my rating of it now that I am thinking more about it. I could say that too about TAR.

I just watched the Fablemans and this too is a reasonably layered movie and worthy of the nomination. 5 down 5 to go.
