Ratings and reviews

I Origins is an unusual movie in terms of genre and pacing, but not in a bad way. It's neither amazing nor terrible but saddles a solid middle-ground in terms of plot, character development and acting. Overall it's happy, sad, awkward, heart-breaking and touching all rolled into one. Well worth the watch.

Bit slow In the beginning but then interesting in the end.

Good value not tacky and interesting right to the end
