Wicked Little Letters

Synopsis

Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) is an upstanding member of her community: a godly woman who still lives with her elderly parents and whose idea of a wild evening is a stimulating game of whist. Meanwhile, her neighbour Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley), recently arrived from Ireland, is fond of a drink, sweary and sexually liberated, while also a loving mother. Curtain-twitching becomes all-out war, and even a national news story when Edith accuses Rose of sending her a series of creatively wicked letters full of hilarious profanities. Rose is charged with the crime, however, as the town’s women investigate, they suspect that something is amiss, and that Rose may not be the culprit after all.
