Wicker (15)

Wicker is coming to Gloucester Guildhall on Friday 13 November, as part of the venue's Event Cinema programme. It's a romantic fantasy with Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård, directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson.

The story centres on a fisherwoman living on the outskirts of a seaside village. She's described as smelly, single, and perpetually ridiculed by her small-minded neighbours. Fed up with it, she takes matters into her own hands and commissions a husband to be made from wicker. In an otherwise conservative town, their unconventional and passionate romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos. It's described as an anarchic, bawdy romantic fantasy, so expect it to lean more into the comedic and the absurd than the sentimental.

Colman leads the cast, and Skarsgård is the one she builds. The film runs 105 minutes, and it's recommended for ages 15 and over. It's not just a one-off showing, either; there are three screenings in total. The first is Friday 13 November at 7pm, followed by Saturday 14 November at 11am, and then Thursday 19 November at 2pm. If you're not a night owl or a morning person, you've got a mid-week afternoon option to fall back on.

Tickets start from £6.50, so it's a fairly easy one to fit into a weekend or a weekday afternoon. Between the three dates, you can pick the slot that works best for you.
