Wicker Winds Through Sundance: Colman and Skarsgård Lead a Bold, Bawdy Folk Tale

At the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, Wicker arrives as a kooky, sex-forward folk tale led by Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård. Colman grounds the bawdy whimsy with grounded pathos while Skarsgård plays a wicker-man with memorable deadpan charm, supported by a colorful village ensemble and striking cinematography. The audacious premise and ribald humor may polarize audiences, and the film is currently seeking U.S. distribution (Grade: B).

At Sundance, Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård and Peter Dinklage discuss Wicker, a visually driven drama based on Ursula Wills’s short story about a fisherman’s village where a basket-maker is asked to fashion a husband from wicker.
