Olivia Colman curses up a blue streak in her superbly sweary new film Wicked Little Letters. The Oscar-winning actress plays an uptight conservative wife whose discovery of scandalous pen letters soon circulates within her prim seaside community.
Before long, the jaded locals start to suspect Jessie Buckley's Irish immigrant mother whose outspoken attitude has already made her a figure of suspicion. But that's only the start of the madness in this wild black comedy that offsets ribald language against early-20th-century social conventions to memorable effect. Even better, it's based on an outrageous true story.
Timothy Spall, Anjana Vasan, Malachi Kirby and Joanna Scanlan round out the excellent cast of Thea Sharrock's movie, and Unlimited members were treated to an advance screening. If that's got you feeling a little bit jealous then be sure to sign up to Unlimited today, but not before reading the reactions to Wicked Little Letters. The writing's on the wall: Unlimited officially loves Olivia Colman's latest.
1st WATCH-#WickedLittleLetters. Really funny comedy about a village plagued with offensive letters. Who’s sending them?! Colman & Buckley lead proceedings and are fab. Reliable support from elsewhere too. Laughs galore. Sags a bit in the middle but soon picks up. Must see. 4/5. pic.twitter.com/NKtFBtmF9d

#WickedLittleLetters was certainly a blast, foul mouthed & filthy ‘English’ humour. Interesting how it plays out in this dark comedy which beyond the laughs lies an undertone of escapism from a manipulated life, with a descent into madness.

Filthy hilarious fun. Really enjoyed it. Colman and Buckley were excellent together and Anjana Vasan impressed too. Also an incredible supporting cast. - Tim Spall, Eileen Atkins. A very entertaining 105minutes - all the more so for being based on a true story
