"Unveiling Institutional Racism: Ava DuVernay's 'Origin' Film"

TL;DR Summary
The film "Origin," directed by Ava DuVernay, struggles to cohere as it attempts to adapt Isabel Wilkerson's complex book "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents" into a narrative. The movie lacks a strong plot and character development, focusing more on ponderings about race and caste on a global scale. While the film's premise is fascinating, it falls short in delivering a complete and compelling narrative, leaving it feeling more like a draft than a finished movie.
