Paradiso Cinema Club - Wicked Little Letters
When: Friday 10 January 2025
Wickham Hall - 23 Ashburton Road, Bovey Tracey. TQ13 9YQ
The Paradiso Cinema Club is delighted to present as our first film for 2025 Wicked Little Letters (2023)
When people in Littlehampton--including conservative local, Edith--begin receiving letters full of hilarious profanities, the rowdy, Irish migrant, Rose, is charged with the crime. Suspecting that something is amiss, the town's women investigate.
A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a farcical and occasionally sinister scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger than fiction true story, WICKED LITTLE LETTERS follows two neighbour’s: 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.

There is limited on street parking at the venue and we recommend that you park at the Riverside car park - a short 5-10 minute walk.
