This is a warm happy gem of a film. Watching the very prim and proper Edith especially say naughty words was surprisingly entertaining and delightful. The leads and supporting cast were great fun to watch and the simple story wasn't over engineered or fluffed up.
Something I loved about it was subtlety of the deeper messages. Women coming together to support women, in spite of differences or temptation for judgement. The hints at the disapproval of the suffragette collective movement while this one individual was making headlines writing letters, the determination of the WPO when her male superiors dismissed her, the oppression of father against daughter and the need to scream and escape from that. Even at the end it wasn't about hate, or even right and wrong or justice, but about breaking free of whatever cuffs are binding us. We need to let it out, to connect with each other, and sometimes that's in the form of a good laugh and very naughty words.
