This is fun from the word go, and whilst it is mostly not LOL funny, it is sweetly and swearily entertaining from start to finish. The ending is the funniest of the lot and to watch Olivia Colman, who plays a prim and proper spinster spouting profanities is sheer joy.
It's a pretty thin story about a woman who sends wicked letters to just about anybody who offends her, and the joy is how she is brought to justice. The two leads, Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley are both very impressive. Jessie Buckley in particular is a whirlwind from start to finish, and it's great to see many well known British actors popping up throughout this merry little tale. Particularly noteworthy is Timothy Spall as the crusty father, Eileen Atkins as a nosey neighbour, and Hugh Skinner as a friendly local copper. I could go on a bit more about the talent in this story, but the best thing is to go and see it for yourself.
