Oscar for best actress in 2018 for her role in the film “The Favorite” and revealed to the general public by playing Queen Elizabeth in the series “The Crown”, Olivia Colman shines once more in “Scandalously Yours”. An irresistible British comedy released on March 13.
“Scandalously Yours” tells the story of two neighbors in the English coastal town of Littlehampton. Edith Swan (Olivia Colman), a prudish and pious spinster, receives insulting and obscene anonymous letters. Very quickly, her neighbor Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley), a single mother with flowery language, comes under suspicion.
The whole small town, concerned by this affair, gets involved. Police officer Gladys Moss, quickly followed by the women of the town, then leads her own investigation. They suspect that something is wrong and that Rose might not be the real culprit, a victim of the abusive morals of her time.

A minor film, but quite enjoyable
Despite the remarkable performance of actresses Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley, the critics of the cinema debate on the Vertigo show on March 13 agree that it is a “minor film, but a pleasure to see” . Although it offers an extraordinary denunciation of patriarchy and puritanism, for Vincent Adatte, cinema journalist for ArcInfo, “Scandalously Yours” is unfortunately lost in an extremely common police investigation, very slow and not very interesting.
In the film, director Thea Sharrock shows that insults, rudeness and vulgarity can be a form of liberation, even emancipation. “There is something quite original there, quite enjoyable to hear and watch,” underlines Rafael Wolf, film critic for RTS.
Nothing stops Olivia Colman
“Scandalously Yours” is inspired by a true story that hit the headlines in England in the 1920s. And in the role of Edith, Olivia Colman proves, if necessary, the full extent of her genius .
Although the British actress is now everywhere, she took time to make a name for herself. It was only at the age of 40 that Olivia Colman was revealed in the series “Broadchurch”, then thanks to her role as queen in “The Favorite” (2018) directed by Yórgos Lánthimos, which earned her the Oscar for best actress. .

Since then, Olivia Colman has played another queen in the series “The Crown”, that of England. Unforgettable mother in “The Lost Daughter” (2021), she plays Anthony Hopkins’ daughter in “The Father” (2020). Olivia Colman shines as well in arthouse films as in blockbusters. Her role in “Scandalously Yours” is no exception.
