About the Movie

Set in 1920s England, Wicked Little Letters follows Edith Swan as she begins receiving crude letters. The police become involved and target Edith's next-door neighbor and former friend, Rose Gooding. Rose is arrested but as more evidence comes in, some clues are not adding up. Based on a true story, Wicked Little Letters is a hilariously mystery.
