Two review outlets cover “Wicker,” a new film that blends a comic, folk-tale setting with explicit sexual fantasy. Both say the movie centers on performers including Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård, with the tone described as kooky and bawdy.

The reviews frame the film’s aim differently. IndieWire emphasizes the story’s eccentric premise and suggests the film searches for a broader purpose beyond its sexual setup, while praising the cast for bringing the material to life. Deadline also highlights the film’s charm, describing it as a comic fable with ideas about relationships and emotions such as jealousy, longing, and love. Deadline additionally notes it played at Sundance and was picked up by Black Bear, positioning the film’s reception and rollout as part of its appeal.
