No Spoilers Here on ‘The Origin of Evil’

The advance buzz on “The Origin of Evil” included passing references to Agatha Christie, the “Knives Out” films, “Succession,” and intimations of comedic intent — the latter of which were likely due to the film’s star, Laure Calamy. If it’s true that the first impression is the best impression — or, perhaps it is better said, the lasting impression — then Ms. Calamy will primarily be known to American audiences for her breakout turn as the ditzy Noémie Leclerc from “Call My Agent!,” the French television series about a talent agency and its many  tribulations.
