Olivia Colman stars in Wicked Little Letters, a ‘truer-than-you-think’ scandal that rocked a village with its foul language.
Olivia Colman walks past me as she heads down a hallway on one of the upper floors of the InterContinental Hotel in Sydney. She’s off for a quick cup of tea before our interview.“What she needs quite a lot of is cups of tea,” confirms Thea Sharrock, director of Colman’s latest film“But in every other way … she’s so game. I mean, honestly, she’s remarkable. She really is. You learn very, very quickly, that she has got incredible experience behind her.
The women had once been best friends, but when their friendship soured, Edith reported Rose to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, falsely claiming she’d heard Rose beating her newborn baby. Colman keenly felt Edith and Rose’s sense of repression and the pressure there was back then to be a respectable woman.
I ask Colman if she feels Hollywood is a little bit that way as well: to get ahead, you must be a respectable woman and not rock the boat.“I personally haven’t ever felt that,” she says. “But then I think I’m in a different sort of box. I’ve never been expected to be the ingénue, the beauty. Probably when I was a bit younger I was a bit, ‘Why not?’ But I don’t care now. I’ve been really lucky. I’ve had jobs I’ve been really interested in, and I’m really grateful for that.
“It’s about female friendship and how we treat our friends, and how important those friendships are, and also how incredibly painful they are,” says Sharrock. “I mean, not to be excluding in any way, but woman to woman, a friendship between one woman and another can be life-changing.
