Unpunished evil goes rampant... Hence Edith became more and more adacious in her petty crimes and started making stupid mistakes which eventually caused her downfall
I'd assumed Wicked Little Letters (very good btw) was highly dramatized, but the true story is as interesting. I would've thought the invisible ink bit was made up.
I'm an American who lived 5 miles west of Littlehampton, in Bognor Regis. This is absolutely fascinating. As an evangelical missionary in England, who is now an atheist, this is the best film I've viewed in years.
Sounds like by the end the only one who still refused the believe the truth was the judge! Too bad they couldn’t get another judge, take it to a different court or put the judge on trial afterwards for corruption!😂
The most useful source was a book called The Littlehampton Libels by Christopher Hilliard and there were a few old newspaper articles from the time I found online that were helpful as well.
I stopped watching halfway through. Maybe I missed something because I gave up at the twist in the middle but I was just so frustrated by then that I had to turn it off. While the acting is commendable, the plot felt predictable as everything we have seen in film since 2016 was written by misguided leftists. It seemed like a typical formula film portraying Christians and men as the primary antagonists, suggesting that these groups are the issue. True innovation in storytelling would involve moving beyond stereotypes and not casting large segments of society as villains based on their gender or beliefs.
I found the real life story very interesting, but also enjoyed the film. I don't think they were trying to pass it off as historically accurate so it didn't bother me that some things were not as they would have been in real life, I found the differences interesting rather than frustrating. I think because she was such a big role they needed Edith to appear sympathetic so pushed some of the blame a little more to her father than was perhaps reported/true at the time, but sometimes a bit of creative license is required to make it entertaining. I think Edith would have been very unlikeable otherwise, but I can see why the controlling religious father might feel a little stereotypical.
Predictable plot, yet there was a twist mid way. Missing half the film yet suggest entire groups in society are portrayed identically in it. A predictable formula film ? All opinion I’ve heard says it’s juxtaposition of content and characters was not what they expected (or not at the level expected). Everything in film now is apparently by leftists!? Interesting opinions. Anyway, I liked the playfulness of the film, clearly set up as a comedy loosely based on a real historical incident (the opening statement set the tone), while incorporating well documented clashes of societal attitudes of the time. It still led me to want to check the real story and it is indeed surprising how much of the film was true, but its main aim was entertainment and I liked how they teed it up so the ‘twist’ wasn’t really a twist - you’d had it in mind all along. At least everyone I know who saw it had.

What a stupid judge
Right? Even more stupid than Edith who didn't think of changing her own handwriting...
Edith more than likely was a covert narcissist. Meaning she could manipulate people into thinking she was something she wasn't.

Where did you learn the details of the real story?

Thanks, now I don’t have to watch the movie anymore 🙏
It’s worth seeing it anyway because the mystery isn’t all that surprising in the movie.
