‘Wicker’ Review: Olivia Colman And Peter Dinklage Turn Alexander Skarsgard Into A Sexy Basket Case In Comic Fable That’s Pure Delight

*Wicker* is a comic, sensual fable about a lonely fisherwoman who asks a basket weaver to make her a husband. The resulting wicker man transforms her life and unsettles the village, while the film explores love, jealousy, gender expectations and the ways partners take one another for granted.

Olivia Colman plays the Fisherwoman, Peter Dinklage the Basket Weaver and Alexander Skarsgård the husband; Elizabeth Debicki is among the supporting cast. Writer-directors Alex Huston and Eleanor Wilson set the story in a fairy-tale village, with cinematography by Lol Crawley and production design by Renato Cseh. The film was a Sundance hit and was acquired by Black Bear, with a release date of 23 October 2026.
