Titillating profanity aside, it\u2019s a relatively tame critique of 1920s gender dynamics, focusing on the two women at the center of the affair \u2014 a sour-puss spinster named Edith Swan, who received the bulk of the harassment, and her disruptive Irish neighbor, Rose Gooding, whom she accused of sending the raunchy missives \u2014 as well as the female detective responsible for untangling the mystery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It doesn\u2019t take much of a detective to realize that adds up to something fairly rare: a period film with three substantial leading roles for women, set (in the words of the local priest) at \u201ca time when morality is threatened and women everywhere are losing their decorum.\u201d Small wonder, then, that director Thea Sharrock attracted such a strong cast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Edith is played by Olivia Colman with an exaggerated piousness that tips toward cartoonish, while the part of force-of-nature Rose proves perfectly suited to \u201cWild Rose\u201d star Jessie Buckley. As a single mom with a Black boyfriend (Malachi Kirby) who drinks and swears and makes love at all hours, Rose challenges the puritanical patriarchy to which her neighbors kowtow (in one scene, her \u201cfurious jumping\u201d nearly dislodges the crucifix hanging from long-suffering Edith\u2019s wall). The two characters could hardly be more different, and yet we\u2019re told they were once best friends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Edith lives at home with an insufferably strict father (Timothy Spall), who spouts off about women\u2019s suffrage and other perceived threats to his authority, while Rose doesn\u2019t hesitate to tell people what she thinks of them. For a time, Edith found a kind of vicarious satisfaction in Rose\u2019s liberated attitude. But now that Edith imagines herself on the receiving end of Rose\u2019s insults, she can abide it no longer. \u201cShe\u2019s heinous,\u201d Edith complains a bit too enthusiastically to the police, \u201cand she\u2019s what we feared would come after the war.\u201d For their part, the authorities show an alarming lack of curiosity when presented with what seems like an open-and-shut case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Only Gladys Moss (\u201cWe Are Lady Parts\u201d vet Anjana Vasan) suspects otherwise, representing the weaker leg of the central trio. As Sussex\u2019s first \u201cwoman police officer,\u201d she\u2019s confronted by sexism and racism every day on the job: Her male colleagues use the word \u201cwoman\u201d the way they might \u201ccanine,\u201d for example \u2014 as though astonished the opposite sex can be of any help in a professional setting \u2014 interrupting their locker-room banter to put Gladys in her place whenever possible. It\u2019s an insufferable work dynamic, which Sharrock and screenwriter Jonny Sweet are none too subtle about calling out. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The movie feels very of-the-moment (almost frustratingly so) in its critique of religious hypocrisy and backward gender dynamics, and yet, one longs for a little more nuance in the clownish way these bigots and blowhards are depicted. In truth, the so-called \u201cLittlehampton libels\u201d built to a twist, which a decent contingent of the audience will surely see coming. The English courts of that time might not have taken handwriting analysis seriously, but the evidence is clear as day to our eyes. Plus, the culprit is hiding in plain sight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Meanwhile, Edith seems to relish all the attention the indignity brings as the case drags on, collecting the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>paper articles written about the shame she\u2019s suffered. (As her mother, Gemma Jones scolds Edith, lest she grow too prideful.) Who knew that enduring such abuse could turn this dowdy old maid into an unlikely local celebrity? Contained in the conflict between these two women is a deeper commentary about the media and how the public relishes a good scandal, rushing to judge with only a fraction of the facts. In Sharrock\u2019s hands, \u201cWicked Little Letters\u201d is an entertaining account of what feels like a primitive form of today\u2019s online flame wars, where people take sides as commenters openly disparage one another. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Ironically, however hurtful Edith and others found these personal attacks to be, they merely compounded the humiliation by going public with what had been written about them. Good that they did \u2014 for our sake, at least \u2014\u00a0as it\u2019s a hoot to hear Armando Iannucci-caliber insults being lobbed in this conservative 1920s milieu. Amid all that bullying, it is free-spirited Rose who shows what dignity looks like, rising above the slander.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
