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.

   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 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.
