This very funny story is about a poison pen letter case in 1920s Sussex. It's only when the film occasionally veers away from the humour does it falter. The cast is very funny and it's all very Brit-com. Enjoyable and worth a look if you can handle all the very blue language.
There is some top-notch swearing that puts me in mind of the quality of epithets from the The Thick Of It (if that programme was set in a wee rural town rather than Westminster.) A few laugh out loud moments of hilarity mainly in seeing Olivia Colman curse like a demon. The whole movie is rather slight though and the dialogue is pedestrian. Some great British actors bouy it up and it isn't a long film.
The fact behind this fiction might be a bit more interesting.
