In the movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” iconic actress Michelle Yeoh — whom you’ve surely seen in “Shang-Chi,” “Crazy Rich Asians,” “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and, if you’re lucky, a slew of Hong Kong action masterpieces — plays Evelyn Wang, a hardworking Asian American midlifer dealing with the overwhelming demands of an aging parent and a high-maintenance child. It’s a story that feels like nonfiction, because many of us (myself included!) are actually living it.
