Wicked Little Letters

Boring, predictable and definately not funny. A pointless little story. It gets one star because the scenery and costumes were done well.

So much fun! Brilliant performances. Killer ending!

Great acting and funny. Olivia and Jessie must have had such a laugh making this movie.

A nifty comedy based loosely on a true story that was heightened by Olivia Colman and Timothy Spall. Hubby and Wife both enjoyed how unserious it was. There are so many clever ideas that may not fit for all, but it's closer to satire than anything else. Always nifty to watch Jessie Buckley work, but it's not a layered performance. Hubby: 8.8/Wife: 8.4/ Final Score: 8.6/10

is an intriguing movie but somewhat unrealistic in certain historical details. While it features people of color in positions of power, such as judges and police officers, this choice clashes with the era's context, where such figures were sadly marginalized. A good film, but with historical inconsistencies that limit its impact. 3/5.

This is the type of movie the Brits love to pump out at a high rate. Quaint, feel good comedies with a strong sense of community. While the final stanza is disappointing, it's an entertaining flick.

Harmless but cute and entertaining. The interesting thing about this movie is that even though objectively it doesn't really work - it's neither very funny, nor very exciting, nor particularly mysterious - it is clearly entertaining and enjoyable to watch. This is in my opinion due to two reasons: its well-dosed, characteristically British charm, and the outstanding performance of its cast, most of all Olivia Colman.

There's only so many laughs you can squeeze out of dumb white misogynist men. When the guilty party is finally revealed as the complainant herself it is no surprise that it's not really her fault but rather she's a victim of dumb white misogynist men... Yuck..

I wanted to watch this because it was presented as a comedy, but turned out to be a light drama that was not funny at all. The actors play it as some kind of farce which had a more annoying than funny effect, and I think this is also why the performances are only so so.

If you are looking for something simple, light and clever than this might be the one for you. Outside of some weird casting choices, the film delivers. Just have to turn your brain off in regards to some details in capturing time and place.
