Starring Aunjanue Ellis, 'Origin' is an odd adaptation that takes too long to make its concept work.
Ava DuVernay has taken on some massive topics and projects in recent years, from bringing Martin Luther King Jr. to the screen with Selma, explaining the prison-industrial complex in 13th, and adapting one of the most beloved YA novels of all time with A Wrinkle in Time.
'Origin' Is Fairly Obvious in the Themes It's Trying to Address Origin is an odd book to bring to the screen in this way, and it’s easy to see DuVernay potentially turning into Nicolas Cage in Adaptation in order to do so. Unfortunately, for the majority of Origin, DuVernay struggles to make this concept work.
In the End, Ava DuVernay Makes It All Come Together Beautifully—Just Too Late Because of this, there are large stretches where Origin drags as the film attempts to cover a lot of ground. But when Wilkerson begins to truly put together the book itself, it all starts to come together. Wilkerson’s primary focus is on slavery in America, as well as the caste systems of Nazi Germany and India, and how these have impacted each other.
