Wicker Reviews: Critics Weigh in on the Raunchy Fantasy Film Starring Olivia Colman

Wicker has earned mixed reviews from critics, but the raunchy fantasy film's lead star Olivia Colman has won praise for another stellar performance. Adapted by husband and wife director/writer team Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson from a short story by Ursula Wills-Jones, Wicker follows Olivia's lonely Fisherwoman whose love life is hampered by her constant fishy odour. Desperate for affection, she commissions the local basket weaver - played by Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage - to fashion her a husband out of wicker. The creation, played by Alexander Skarsgård, comes to life and proves so alluring that it sparks fierce jealousy among the village's women, led by Elizabeth Debicki, threatening to disrupt the social order. The first trailer was released to much fanfare in July, with viewers in shock at the graphic scenes between Olivia and Alexander. The reviews are now in following Wicker's London Film Festival premiere last week.
