REVIEWS
“It’s hard to recall a movie made for general audiences that takes ideas so seriously, that makes the pursuit of them appear so thrilling, or that is so replete with the intellectual substance of the protagonist’s endeavors.”
“‘Rich in thought, Origin is a dense, forceful masterwork, and, quite simply, the most radical film of DuVernay’s career.”
“Ava DuVernay continues to establish herself as one of the most vital voices in contemporary cinema.”
