A real-life 1920s scandal - one that’s enough to turn the air blue - takes center stage in director Thea Sharrock’s dark comedy. Wicked Little Letters is set in the quaint English coastal town of Littlehampton, where residents begin receiving a series of foul-mouthed anonymous letters.
Accusations are levelled at Rose (Jessie Buckley), an Irish immigrant and single mum viewed with suspicion by some - notably pious neighbour Edith (Olivia Colman), who still lives with her parents (Timothy Spall, Gemma Jones) and seems envious of Rose’s free-spirited ways.
