Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Wicked Little Letters (2024)

Edith, a prudish spinster still living with her parents, has been receiving crude letters for a while. The prime suspect is neighbor Rose, a joyfully foulmouthed widow and former friend of Edith. A woman police officer and other women of the town work together to uncover the truth when Rose is accused and sent to jail to await trial.

It's a fun story -- based on real events -- but it's pretty easy to guess where things are going. Honestly, I don't know if this would've amounted to much without the brilliant Colman's involvement (though Jessie Buckley more than holds her own as well).
