A very interesting, comical movie. I enjoyed it. Funny how Edith wanted to be like Rose and act upon making it out to be Rose's fault. Which really set the movie into a who dunnit type of film. One never expected that it would have been Edith writing the letters to her family. The foul mouth Edith really learned a lot from Rose, looked like she envied Rose. Spiritually free and doesn't care how flawlessly she became. For her it felt great to speak her mind. Which is what I liked about this movie. Intimidating and free for all type with some craziness acting.

Just about everyone loves a good mystery, but, in the case of director Thea Sharrock’s latest, viewers are treated to one that’s both intriguing and utterly hilarious. Based on a true story, this delightfully offbeat offering tells the head-scratching tale of a small seaside community in 1920s England in which residents begin receiving anonymously sent letters filled with graphic profanity of a highly colorful and creative nature. The chief suspect is a recently arrived salty-tongued Irish immigrant (Jessie Buckley) who never hesitates to speak her mind or act out when she thinks it appropriate. The primary recipient is her neighbor, a cheery but conservative Christian woman (Olivia Colman), a prim and proper spinster who lives with her stern, judgmental father (Timothy Spall) and elderly, faint-of-heart mother (Gemma Jones). But is the accused really at fault? When a plucky, resourceful policewoman (Anjana Vasan) who’s supposed to stay out of the investigation gets involved, she uncovers evidence that circumstances may not be what they seem. The result is a sidesplitting thriller with loads of twists, turns and misdirections, a clever, original and outrageously waggish release that will tickle the funny bone of anyone who appreciates the wit and wisdom of good, old-fashioned, foul-mouthed cursing (sensitive viewers take note). The positively superb ensemble cast is outstanding across the board, particularly among the aforementioned principals, as well as a host of flamboyant supporting players. It’s obvious that everyone involved in this production had to have had fun making this film, and it shines through loud and clear in the finished product. There are a few sequences where the pacing drags slightly, but who cares? “Wicked Little Letters” is such a good time watch that you won’t really care. What’s perhaps most intriguing, though, is that this is a fact-based story – one that garnered national attention at the time – that had largely been lost to time but that, thankfully, has been brought back to life through this deliciously devious indie gem. Hell, yeah!

If you can bring yourself about to ignore blatant agenda-promoting unhistorical propaganda such as: * All the protagonist’s friends being women * An incredibly unhistorical proportion of colored people * All men in the film presented as prejudiced, misogynistic, evil, morons with the sole exception of the protagonist’s partner, who is of course of African descent, and who is still presented as undecisive, coward and unworthy to rely upon, but eventually manages to do the right thing * The police officer who actually gets the job done being a woman and on top of that, of Indian descent * The judge being of African descent. (I could barely hold my laughs at that point; I bet it would be hard to find a single colored judge in the whole British Empire back then) Then it’s not a bad film. Very nice cinematography and acting at the usual high British standards.

This movie is a riotous and wildly entertaining ride, packed with zany humor, colorful language, and outrageous escapades. Initially hesitant about its appeal, I finally gave it a chance in theaters and was pleasantly surprised by its infectious fun and comedic charm. Despite its exaggerated and unconventional humor, this film is a must-see that guarantees a good time. While it may feel more suited for a cozy movie night at home, the laughs and sheer enjoyment it offers make it a worthwhile watch for any audience. The lead actress delivers a stellar performance, adding to the film's comedic brilliance. I highly recommend checking out this movie, especially since it's currently available for streaming. Be prepared for the film's goofy and cheesy moments, as they are sure to leave you laughing and thoroughly entertained.
