The British actor virtually strolls away with this droll comedy about a small English town plagued with a gloriously profane poison-pen letter writer.
little English hamlet of Littlehampton, someone has been sending out anonymous letters to their fellow townsfolk. Not just any types of greetings or wish-you-were-here correspondence circa the early 1920s, mind you. These unsigned missives say things like, “You foxy-ass old whore,” or “You dirty old bitch, you belong in hell, probably,” and “You suck 10 cocks a week, minimum.” These are some of the tamer ones, mind you.
Yet neither of these detours into zaniness or zealous handwringing can dampen the one thing that lies at the heart of Sharrock & Co.’s movie: a palpable sense of anger. Given the stifling social mores of the period and the toxic patriarchal attitudes — notably from Edith’s father, whose tantrums over being considered a “Nancy boy” suggest a lot of projected insecurity — it’s not a leap to see why Rose or Gladys bristle at the double standards on display.
