Fiery Rose Gooding has little in common with the pious Edith Swan aside from them being neighbours in the seaside town of Littlehampton in the 1920s. But one day, Edith and others in the town start receiving scandalous letters written with foul language as eccentric as it is obscene, and the finger of suspicion immediately falls on Rose. As Rose stands to lose her freedom and the custody of her daughter, and outrageous letters continue to blight the town, police officer Gladys Moss begins to suspect something is amiss. Together with a group of resourceful women, Gladys endeavours to solve the mystery, liberate Rose, and catch the real culprit…

"Could've been either of them." Olivia Colman is wickedly funny and pitch-perfect, as always. But the fact that I actually started tearing up at points is a testament to Jessie Buckley. There really is no one like her.

This is really good... loads of bad words, but that's the whole point of the movie. Unfortunately it's loaded with Wokeness. 9/10

Was surprised to see so many black people in a 1920’s English seaside town, I guess rewriting history is the norm nowadays in the name of diversity

Very good, this! 'Wicked Little Letters' is fun. Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley impress in lead roles, both managing to stand out just as much as the other - Colman is particularly perfectly cast. The rest of them merit praise as well, namely Anjana Vasan and Timothy Spall. There isn't much more to note about this really and I don't mean that in a negative way whatsoever. It's all competently put together, as those onscreen bring this rather simple film to life - and I like those type of movies. Well worth a watch!

On the positive, Jessie Buckley as a raging, crass Irish free spirit was worthy of the watch by herself. She really carries the majority of the humour here, and it's nice to see she has comedic range outside of the usual dramas that I've seen her in. Colman gives a...predictable performance, but she More
