Wicked Little Letters review
Jessie Buckley and Olivia Colman star in a very English comedy.
Leslie Felperin, The Financial Times, 22nd February 2024Wicked Little Letters review
This British chocolate-box period comedy thinks that excessive swearing works as a substitute for a good plot - but it really doesn't.
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph, 22nd February 2024Wicked Little Letters review
A depressing, obvious, clunky waste of a stellar cast.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 22nd February 2024Wicked Little Letters review
The stellar cast is wasted with silly script and cartoonish crime capers.
Dulcie Pearce, The Sun, 22nd February 2024Wicked Little Letters review
Olivia Colman entertains in thin British comedy.
Victoria Luxford, City AM, 22nd February 2024Wicked Little Letters review
A flimsy comic farce.
David Jenkins, Little White Lies, 22nd February 2024Tale of the spinster played by Olivia Colman in Wicked Little Letters
When Edith Swan started receiving obscene letters calling her a "foxy-a***d old whore" who had cheated on her fiancé, the country was shocked.
Other poisonous rantings landed on the doormats of the spinster's neighbours, friends and public officials in the 1920s.
Grant Rollings, The Sun, 20th February 2024Wicked Little Letters review
British comedy at its best.
Rebecca Carey, Hillingdon & Uxbridge Times, 20th February 2024Wicked Little Letters review
The main faux pas of the movie comes in its structure. The film presents itself as a mystery as the audience sets about guessing who the scribe behind the letters might be, but the question is answered for us halfway through.
Guy Lambert, The Upcoming, 19th February 2024Wicked Little Letters review
Two beloved character actors face off in a sweary but cosy period comedy.
