The film 'Wicker' is a comedy about a ridiculed, single fisherwoman living on the outskirts of a seaside village who, fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbours, has a husband made for her from wicker. It was directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson. In the otherwise conservative town, the unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos. The cast includes Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, Elizabeth Debicki, Peter Dinklage and Ella Bruccoleri.
Critics praise Olivia Colman's charming, funny lead performance, the film's warm balance of bawdy humor and heartfelt emotion, and its striking fairy-tale craft. Little is faulted, though some note the story's oddness and dark tone may not suit everyone.
