A strong cast for Wicked Little Letter turns this into a boisterous, fun quirky film.

When people in Littlehampton, including conservative local Edith, begin to receive letters full of hilarious profanities, rowdy Irish migrant Rose is charged with the crime.

Suspecting that something is amiss, the town’s women investigate.

Thanks largely to a strong cast that leans into the story’s humorous side, Wicked Little Letters is a diverting comedy even if the mystery at its core isn’t particularly engaging.

Wicked Little Letters follows a series of bizarre events as the pious and reserved Edith receives a string of crude letters, supposedly from her boisterous neighbour Rose.

It’s one of those delightful British films that brings to a light a surprisingly true story and packs it full of brilliant British talent.

Jessie Buckley and Olivia Colman as the two leads are both brilliant as expected.

They each bring a different style of comedy to their characters, elevating the witty dialogue superbly. They are just such great fun to watch.

Timothy Spall does a great job as an old fashioned man of the house is outraged by these Wicked Little Letters.

Overall this film is just an absolute hoot, it’s fun, quirky, boisterous and just a really good time.

My Rating: 7/10
