It’s a classic French studio comedy: glossy and taking full advantage of its setting, toothless while simultaneously somehow well-observed, and would certainly go down easy on a night out with a glass of wine.

For those of you who are pro lesbian rights and pro lesbian wrongs, The Origin of Evil is the perfect Friday night French flick with all the lesbians, major plot twists, and tea you need!

As I was watching this film I couldn’t help but remember a certain A-list celebrity who recently told people to get off their asses and work. Gavel’s film is the perfect response to comments like this; it is just an added bonus that it happens to be an enthrallingly thrilling film too.
