Wicked Little Letters (2024 wicked letters film)

[Led Souptin]

Watched this last night and it is absolutely delightful, incredible performances from all of the cast and a genuinely funny script. Plenty of huge laugh out moments from the start.

I'm really a sucker for placing swear words into period settings (death of stalin / poor things being two examples I can think of) so this was right up my street. Might wear thin if you don't find that sort of thing funny I guess.

Anyone else seen?

Extra points for Olivia Colman swearing too. Not seen this, but it sounds fun.

I saw the trailer a few weeks ago and it was a rarity in that it really made me want to watch the film when I hadn't heard of it before. Usually trailers seem to do their best to put you off. It helps that the leads are both great actors and very likeable and charismatic

Saw it in that slightly uncomfortable atmosphere of a sparsely attended cinema with no one laughing but I found it enjoyable, with Joanna Scanlan's turn a highlight, but thought

Spoiler alert

the reveal of who was writing the letters would have been better if it was when Moss clocked the florid G on the signed death certificate rather than that occurring after we already knew who it was

. But that's just me nitpicking and I might be wrong.

Extra points for Olivia Colman swearing too. Not seen this, but it sounds fun.

She does it a lot in The Favourite, seem to recall her dropping the c-bomb a couple of times

This was ace. A bit more dramatic than I was expecting from the trailer, but mostly bloody funny. The humour is highly puerile, but then so am I.

The dramatic stuff was surprising, especially a particularly nasty Timothy Spall. Great stuff all around.
