Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News Feb 4
3.5/4
Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson’s ribald fable casts a comedic spell as it leads to a Satisfying finale. You’ll have a good time with this one. Go to Full Review Johnny Oleksinski New York Post Jan 27
3.5/4
Quite like her Oscar-winning performance in “The Favorite,” Colman, who’s never afraid to act ridiculous, is untethered and batty until things get real. Or, as real as things can get when one’s hubby is an oversize vessel for potpurri. Go to Full Review Benjamin Lee Guardian Jan 26
2/5
Ultimately, there’s too much here that doesn’t gel, a tonally uneven mix of mostly unfunny bawdy humour, dark fantasy and unlikely romance, too much wood but not enough fire. Go to Full Review Wael Khairy The Cairo Scene Mar 9
The problem isn’t just that ‘Wicker’ lacks ideas, but that it treats folklore more as decoration. Beneath the wicker and straw, the film is missing something essential, a beating heart. Go to Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 11
9/10
In many ways, Wicker feels like medieval Edward Scissorhands, with every frame bursting to life with artistic brilliance. Go to Full Review Alex Billington FirstShowing.net Feb 7
8/10
Enjoyable from start to finish, wacky but entertaining & amusing in the right ways. A kooky Sundance 2026 gem worth seeking out. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
