Wicked Little Letters

...a deliciously sweary poison-pen mystery.

Unsurprisingly, Olivia Colman effortlessly elevates the weaker material, reminding us that her breakthrough was in comedies like Peep Show and Green Wing.

...a cozy British mystery goosed with eye-popping profanity.

An ultimately rather cosy tale of British eccentricity.

Such a story, with all its gossip and intrigue, silliness and absurdities, could only be a true one.

A toned-down comedy with few explosive moments and dramatic undertones—less poison pen, more polite prod.
