A farcical and occasionally sinister scandal drives this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger than fiction true story, this ferociously funny mystery follows two neighbors: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious 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 (Anjana Vasan) - begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit after all.

The anonymous letters cause a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, when the town's women, led by police officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan), start investigating the crime themselves, they suspect something is amiss and Rose may not be the culprit. A light, fun, and surprisingly emotional film."
