ACMI, MIFF & STUDIOCANAL Present
Wicked Little Letters
Big Screen Premiere
When
Tue 19 Mar 2024
A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark and absurd scandal in this riotous mystery comedy.
Based on a stranger-than-fiction true story, Wicked Little Letters follows two neighbours: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and her fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women – led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) – begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit after all.
Wicked Little Letters will be released in cinemas on Thursday 21 March. Join us in the cinema for a very special preview screening.
