A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark, absurd 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 start 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 might not be the

culprit after all. Studio Canal
