Kino Monoplexx: Poor Things
When people in Littlehampton, including conservative local Edith, begin to receive letters full of hilarious profanities, rowdy Irish migrant Rose is charged with the crime. Suspecting that something is amiss, the town’s women investigate.
A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark, 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 and rowdy Irish migrant Rose. When Edith and fellow residents start to receive wicked letters full of 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, begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss and Rose might not be the culprit after all.
‚Wicked Little Letters‘ is hysterically funny and unique. It takes a humorous true story and adds some great social commentary. – IMDb Critic
