In the British comedy Wicked Little Letters, neighbors Edith (Olivia Colman) and Rose (Jessie Buckley) turn into enemies after uptight Brit Edith begins receiving letters from a mysterious and foul-mouthed writer whom she assumes is the oft-misbehaving Irish immigrant Rose. The 1920s period film from director Thea Sharrock (The Beautiful Game), based on a real story, follows the pair and their fellow townspeople, who become increasingly invested in solving the case. And reader, these small-town folks get into all sorts of hijinks. If you’ve already laughed yourself silly watching Wicked Little Letters and are antsy for more uproarious comedies from the UK, read on.
