Origin

Why would they want to make a movie about someone writing an academic book that, based on the movie, doesn't seem to say anything new. And not really sure what her personal tragedies has to do with it. No matter what, I don't like people who are so eager to equate slavery with the Holocaust.

2024 November 30th: This is a thought provoking, masterly done, an amazing movie!

To know history you also must trust your instincts because if a story seems off it probably is. Such an important message wrapped up in a longish movie so please stick with it. Ava DuVernay is a treasured Director of our time!

A very emotionally charged movie , I love the way this movie has a charge of interconnecting different struggles from different situations and putting it into one formative context, from the caste system of India, to the killing of Trayvon martin and everything in between, in retrospect this movie was very well thought out and executed, from the cinematography to the storytelling and characters, definitely in my top five movies ever.

Origin takes a LOT of material and tries to synthesize it into an understanding of the caste system.

The interconnection is something everyone should experience from this film between now, India, the Slavery in America, and the holocaust. It will probably be banned in the red states.

There have been a bunch of recent efforts to address this subject for a broad audience, this is among the most successful.

Origin is well made and well acted. It talks about a message. While this is a good movie, it moves painfully slow. I got bored and missed the final half hour.

This is Ms. DuVernay's best work! Thank you for bringing this truth to light. Everyone in the world should see this movie.

Like nothing I’ve seen before. A movie and a piece of scholarship about what divides us. Deeply moving.
