Final Cut Film Discussion: Wicked Little Letters

Picture the primmest woman in 1920s England. Now picture her getting anonymous letters so filthy, so creatively vulgar, that the whole town loses its mind trying to figure out who wrote them. That's the true story behind Wicked Little Letters — and it's one of the funniest movies you probably haven't seen yet.

Olivia Colman (The Crown, The Favourite) plays the buttoned-up victim. Jessie Buckley (Hamnet, The Bride) plays her foul-mouthed Irish neighbor and prime suspect. What starts as a small-town scandal turns into a genuinely hilarious mystery, as the town's women take the investigation into their own hands — because the men in charge have, predictably, got it all wrong.

It's a comedy. It's a whodunit. It's based on a real scandal that actually happened. And it somehow makes Victorian-era profanity into an art form.

You don't need to have heard of this one to fall in love with it — that's exactly why we picked it. Come watch, come laugh, and stick around after for the discussion.
