The bizarre case that inspired Wicked Little Letters [Spoilers]

The film Wicked Little Letters starring Olivia Coleman is based on a real life mystery from the 1920s
Residents in the small town of Littlehampton Sussex were tormented by a batch of wicked letters. The tale involves some very rude language, someone getting framed and sent to jail for a crime she didn’t commit and an ingenious plan that eventually caught the real culprit.

Unpunished evil goes rampant... Hence Edith became more and more adacious in her petty crimes and started making stupid mistakes which eventually caused her downfall

What a stupid judge

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Right? Even more stupid than Edith who didn't think of changing her own handwriting...

[@popmonika]

Edith more than likely was a covert narcissist. Meaning she could manipulate people into thinking she was something she wasn't.

Sounds like by the end the only one who still refused the believe the truth was the judge! Too bad they couldn’t get another judge, take it to a different court or put the judge on trial afterwards for corruption!😂

Thanks, now I don’t have to watch the movie anymore 🙏

[@JP-lu9ed]

It’s worth seeing it anyway because the mystery isn’t all that surprising in the movie.

I stopped watching halfway through. Maybe I missed something because I gave up at the twist in the middle but I was just so frustrated by then that I had to turn it off. While the acting is commendable, the plot felt predictable as everything we have seen in film since 2016 was written by misguided leftists. It seemed like a typical formula film portraying Christians and men as the primary antagonists, suggesting that these groups are the issue. True innovation in storytelling would involve moving beyond stereotypes and not casting large segments of society as villains based on their gender or beliefs.

I found the real life story very interesting, but also enjoyed the film. I don't think they were trying to pass it off as historically accurate so it didn't bother me that some things were not as they would have been in real life, I found the differences interesting rather than frustrating. I think because she was such a big role they needed Edith to appear sympathetic so pushed some of the blame a little more to her father than was perhaps reported/true at the time, but sometimes a bit of creative license is required to make it entertaining. I think Edith would have been very unlikeable otherwise, but I can see why the controlling religious father might feel a little stereotypical.
