I’ll say this about “I Origins”: Michael Pitt and Brit Marling wear great-looking glasses in it.
Those specs don’t really fit the characters, but at least puzzling over writer-director Mike Cahill‘s costuming choices distracted me from the ridiculous love story underpinning the first half of the movie.
Pitt, an unconvincing scientist if there ever was one, plays molecular biologist Ian Gray, a university researcher obsessed with eyes to the point he has assembled a database of them. One Halloween night, he takes himself and his eye-catching spectacles to a party, where he meets a goth woman with a stocking covering all of her face except her eyes.
