KRISTOF GALGOCZI NEMETH/SuppliedWicker Directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor WilsonWritten by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, based on the short story The Wicker Husband by Ursula WillsStarring Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgard and Peter DinklageClassification N/A; 105 minutesOpens in theatres Oct. 23Critic’s Pick God bless Olivia Colman’s filthy mouth. As displayed in her cuss-tastic work in The Favourite, Fleabag and the especially filthy Wicked Little Letters from a few years back, the British star has proven herself to be a top-tier vulgarian, able to make an everyday F-bomb feel like a profoundly atomic blast of pitch-perfect profanity. So it’s with great, [redacted] pleasure to report that Colman curses up another storm in Wicker, the new fantasy-comedy-romance-whatchamacallit that takes gleeful delight in flipping the bird. Set in vaguely medieval times, the film follows the generally awful residents of a generally horrible farming village where everyone is trying to make their neighbour more miserable than they are.
