I Origins - Reviews

...a remarkably confident film technically. Cinema has had a love affair with the eye for a century now and Cahill and cinematographer Markus Förderer take the timeless image of the eye...

...giving satisfying closure to a potentially unsolvable puzzle, while maintaining just the right amount of ambiguity.

...mutates into a debate about the singularity of the soul, the spectre of reincarnation rearing its unexpected head under laboratory conditions.

...like a knock-off of “The X-Files” that grounds its admittedly preachy science-versus-faith battles in subtler moments.

Mike Cahill's second film tackles a metaphysical subject with glowing photography and bright-eyed earnestness
