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.

This cast is incredible•Published Aug 21, 2026Courtesy of Black BearIn advance of the release of Spa Weekend in theaters this week, I sat down with the film's stars, Michelle Buteau, Leslie Mann, Anna Faris and Isla Fisher, for an exclusive interview. During our chat, Faris told me, "I was so grateful to be on this job for so many reasons. And having this new female friendship—I've always felt like it's been tough for me to make friends...whatever, I won't go into my little victimhood sob story, but maybe I will! But I didn't take it for granted at all. I was so grateful to be there working and getting to watch, getting to act with these women. Just a thrill. "This close-knit bond among these leading ladies was super apparent throughout the interview (at times I felt like a casual observer getting to see four famous comedians hang out)—but it's also what made Spa Weekend such an enjoyable watch. Here, my honest review of the fabulous new comedy. Courtesy of Black BearThe breezy and fun film follows three BFFs who decide to escape their problems (a horrible boss, a grinding career, a contentious relationship with an ex) with a weekend spa getaway.
