Wicked Little Letters

Britain,1920: Conservative spinster Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) became the recipient of vicious and explicit hate mail--and the constabulary was too fast to listen when she pointed at famously foul-mouthed estranged friend Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). For determined PC Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan), Edith's allegations didn't add up...and she pursued dicey plans to exonerate Rose as a scandalous trial wore on. Fact-based mystery-farce co-stars Malachi Kirby, Timothy Spall, Gemma Jones. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English, Spanish, French; featurettes; theatrical trailer.
