Review of Origin

Origin (2023)
5/10
More is less
13 March 2024
Too many storylines, too many characters.

We got our main heroine. Her husband. Her family. Her friends. Her work. Some more friends. Some more work. In between of all that we got a whole other story about nazzi Germany and WWII.

The message is simply getting diluted in all that mix of historical events and personal melodramatic moments.

It's trying to say so many things at once and the final result feels disjointed and messy.

Not the mention, that ultimately it's not saying anything particularly new. If you've been somewhat interested in the topic of racism, classism and did a little bit of research then you probably won't find anything new in this movie.

Ultimately, it could have been a nice documentary.
