Be careful what you post.

In the 1920s, in the English seaside town of Littlehampton, the deeply conservative Edith Swan lives next to Rose Gooding, a rowdy Irish immigrant. When Edith and other residents begin receiving malicious letters filled with unintentionally hilarious profanities, Edith's controlling father, Edward, directs suspicion toward the foul-mouthed Rose. As a result, Rose is charged with being the presumed author of the letters. Due to her estranged friendship with Edith and her inability to post bail, she is arrested.

However, some of the town's women, particularly police officer Gladys Moss, sense that something is not right and begin to doubt Rose's guilt. Undeterred by Chief Constable Spedding's prohibition on further investigation, they decide to take matters into their own hands and conduct their own inquiry.

Thea Sharrock’s Wicked Little Letters is easily one of the best British comedies in recent years, with consistent laughs and wonderful performances from its cast. (Aaron Murray - Lound and Clear Reviews)
