Wicked Little Letters

Directed by Thea Sharrock
Starring Olivia Coleman, Jessie Buckley, Timothy Spall, Hugh Skinner, Anjana Vasan

A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a farcical and occasionally sinister scandal in this riotous mystery
comedy. Based on a stranger than fiction true story, Wicked Little Letters follows two neighbours: deeply
conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith
and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is
charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s
women – led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) – begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect
that something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit after all.
