‘Unknown Origins’: Cool Concept, Poor Execution
Unknown Origins promises a cool spin on superheroes and serial killers, but ultimately delivers cheap comedy.

A gay couple from a small town travels to Mexico City for a weekend to celebrate one of their thirtythird birthdays. What begins as an intimate getaway soon transforms into a journey of temptation. Desire, curiosity, and discomfort push them to confront what they have avoided for years, inviting them to cross boundaries they once believed were clearly defined. In the midst of the vast metropolis, their bond begins to unravel as buried desires surface, forcing them to confront whether love can survive the weight of everything left unsaid.

In Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It (1986), we follow the love life of powerful female protagonist Nola Darling (Tracy Camilla Johns) and explore the relationship dynamics she has with her partners. She sees three men simultaneously: Greer Childs, (John Canada Terrell) Mars Blackmon (Spike Lee), and Jamie Overstreet (Tommy Redmond Hicks). Though an 80’s film, She’s Gotta Have It is surprisingly progressive with its themes of female sexuality, although at some points in the film it is handled clumsily. Overall Nola is an incredibly compelling character especially for modern women, as we as a society acknowledge female sensuality more and more without the negative stigma.
