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
Stephen A. Russell ScreenHub 4d
Shot in curling mists and the rustling flicker of dappled sunlight through leaves by The Brutalist cinematographer Lol Crawley, Wicker’s lushly drawn world is all the more remarkable for it being Wilson and Fischer’s sophomore feature. 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
