   Is 'origin' a good movie?

   • Sometimes too overt, “Origin” isn’t a perfect movie. But the character of a truly great film isn’t found in its perfection. Rather it arises from how the narrative moves, challenges, and hugs the heart. Rich in thought, “Origin” is a dense, forceful masterwork, and, quite simply, the most radical film of DuVernay’s career.

   Does origin open with the author?

   • Origin looks at the story behind the book and at Wilkerson’s personal journey that leads her to write it. But the film doesn’t open with the author; it opens with a young Black man going to the store. As we watch him walk out into the night, he fades into the blackness.

   Is 'origin' a good book?

   • For his part, the author Sunil Khilnani, writing in The New Yorker, sees in Wilkerson’s book “more grim continuity than hopeful departures, more regression to the mean than moments of progress.” Despite its well-wrought, meaningful tears, “Origin” is, by contrast, extraordinarily hopeful.

   Is 'origin' a journalistic film?

   • At its core, “Origin” is a journalistic film. Similar to all great reporting, it demands for the viewer to not look away. Thus, as Isabel continues to research—interviewing, reading, and writing—what we see is a Black woman at work in a profession that cinematically is too often reserved for white people.
