Leave your thoughts about I Origins.
| The Film StageRaffi AsdourianI Origins tries desperately to imbue a deeper metaphysical meaning with its narrative, but the alignment of all its concepts come off as disjointed and pretentious. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordParts of this romantic science fiction story are undeniably interesting. Others require a strong suspension of disbelief and even then I was scratching my head. |
| Seventh RowAlex HeeneyThe longer the film goes on, the clunkier, sillier, and more preposterous it becomes. Expect your eyes to roll. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsA film that aims for the stars and may have found one here on earth. |
| McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreA true indie film roller-coaster ride, from moon-eyed romance to aching heartbreak, cerebral puzzle to incredibly moving, emotional resolution to that puzzle. In a season of the year where sci-fi is dumbed down and then dumbed some more for mass consumption, here’s a piece of speculative fiction that will stick with you long after the last Transformer’s battery has died. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBill ZweckerCahill has not only made a thoughtful and compelling movie about science, but he’s also given us an intriguing story that delves into the age-old debate of faith vs. hard proof involving the possibility of a higher spiritual power. |
| The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyI Origins is a bracingly venturesome, exploratory work that achieves an exceptional balance between the emotional and intellectual aspects of its unusual story. |
| Film ExperienceGlenn DunksI Origins is bigger, bolder, and altogether more intellectually ambitious than Cahill's debut. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattIt works its own sort of magic. After all, who doesn't want to believe that the soul does have a window, and that if it closes we might open it again? |
| Movie MezzanineTomris Laffly...I Origins will give you many reasons to hate its guts (hipster scientists, anyone?). |
