In the days following WWI, widow Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley) leaves Ireland and takes up residence in Littlehampton along with her daughter Nancy (Alisha Weir). She lives with Bill (Malachi Kirby). Their martial status is not mentioned. Rose is on the wild side and uses salty language. Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) lives next to her and under the thumb of her father (Timothy Spall). She is very much involved in the Christian Community. Edith has been getting very disgusting letters using foul language. Rose gets arrested for the crime under circumstantial evidence. Police Woman Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) has her doubts based on handwriting which is not admissible as evidence. At 55 minutes into the film, the culprit is revealed.
Superb acting. Very light film despite the odd swearing.
