      Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It’s hardly new news, but DuVernay takes a very long time to spell it out. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian There is a personal side to Wilkerson’s story that the director and cast skilfully interweave. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Kelechi Ehenulo Empire Magazine Bearing similar levels of gravity and substance to her Netflix documentary 13th, Origin is arguably DuVernay’s most emotionally complex work to date. Rated: 4/5 Mar 20, 2024 Full Review Jayashree Kamblé PopMatters I wept through this film but left it thinking about love, freedom, and the Buddhist principle of metta or loving-kindness. Apr 22, 2024 Full Review Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz Telling such a vast and potentially unwieldy story in a way that remains human, entertaining and relatable is a hell of an achievement. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 21, 2024 Full Review Shadan Larki InSession Film Origin opened my eyes to a new way of storytelling, and to add to that, a film has not so profoundly moved me in a very long time. A cinematic magic trick that I encourage you all to see immediately. Apr 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
