1. • • 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.

   Is origin a science fiction movie?

   • Origin, the new film from director Ava DuVernay, has a title that might suggest science fiction. Alien gods? A tech morality tale, with a pinch of 2001: A Space Odyssey? In fact, the movie is deeply terrestrial. The subject is hierarchy, all-too-human and strictly earthbound. The focus often falls on a quiet figure hunched over a MacBook Pro.

   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.
