Warning: mild spoilers for Wicked Little Letters ahead!
A small town on the south coast of England serves as the setting for new period comedy Wicked Little Letters. The people of Littlehampton, West Sussex, might have just lived through the horrors of the First World War when the film opens, but they're still rather scandalized by the word 'fuck', and when a torrent of obscene letters start piling at the door of godfearing Edith Swan (Olivia Colman), a rapidly escalating scandal ensues. The local bumbling police force gets involved, and their number one suspect is Edith's foul-mouthed neighbor, Rose (Jessie Buckley).
