Alexander Skarsgård charms in the upcoming rom‑com ‘Wicker,’ a rustic love story that’s anything but stiff.

NPR’s fall‑season roundup flags ‘Wicker’ as a standout rom‑com, headlined by Alexander Skarsgård. Critics describe his character as a “vision of elegantly woven wicker”—a man who’s caring, sincere, and oddly hot, standing out in a village where the other men fall short of his charisma. The film leans into its rural setting with a playful, almost tactile sensibility. Skarsgård’s protagonist is portrayed as the antithesis of the typical village male, offering a fresh, heartfelt energy that promises both humor and genuine connection. The writer’s tongue‑in‑cheek endorsement—“I’m rattan to the core”—captures the film’s whimsical tone, hinting that ‘Wicker’ will weave together romance and wit in a way that feels both familiar and delightfully new for audiences this fall.

Nicolas Cage’s wild bear‑suit turn has turned the 2006 ‘Wicker Man’ flop into a cult‑class favorite.

When the 2006 remake of ‘The Wicker Man’ hit theaters, critics and audiences alike dismissed it as a botched attempt to recapture the 1973 horror classic’s tension. Set in a bizarre bee‑worshiping matriarchy and hampered by uneven direction, the film struggled to find genuine scares. What rescued the movie from obscurity was Nicolas Cage’s unapologetically over‑the‑top performance. He leapt into the absurdity, delivering a scene that has become legendary: Cage in a full‑body bear suit, delivering lines with a manic intensity that borders on comedy. That willingness to embrace the ridiculous has transformed the remake into a campy spectacle. Fans now gather to quote Cage’s most outlandish moments, celebrating the film not for horror but for its unintentional entertainment value. The once‑derided remake has found a second life as a beloved cult classic, proving that sometimes a single performance can rewrite a film’s legacy.

Wicker review: Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård weave a raunchy fairy tale
Image via mashable.com,

A straw‑man husband made of wicker sparks a medieval gender revolt

Olivia Colman stars as a defiant fisherwoman in the buzz‑worthy new fantasy "Wicker," where she commissions a reclusive basket weaver (Peter Dinklage) to literally stitch her a husband. The resulting dashing, pliable suitor—brought to life by Alexander Skarsgård—has already set festival audiences at the BFI London Film Festival howling with delight, their reactions ranging from gasps to cackles as the film’s absurd premise unfolds. Beyond its goofy fairy‑tale shell, "Wicker" skewers the patriarchal rituals of a medieval village where marriage is a literal collar. As the wicker husband shares housework, fishing, and pleasure with his wife, the town’s women begin to question their own subservient roles, leaving the men flustered and the community in comedic upheaval. The film’s dead‑pan supporting cast—Elizabeth Debicki as the scheming Tailor’s Wife, Nabhaan Rizwan as her clueless husband, and a parade of quirky locals—amplify the satire with razor‑sharp one‑liners. All of this nonsense is anchored by a jaw‑dropping production design. Wētā Workshop and visual‑effects supervisor Joe Dunckley crafted a translucent wicker suit that lets light filter through Skarsgård’s limbs, turning the “timber knight” into a visually striking, otherworldly figure. The meticulous set pieces, from the fisherwoman’s crumbling cottage to the village’s smoky inn, give the film a handcrafted, Frankenstein‑for‑craft‑lovers aesthetic that feels both magical and oddly intimate.
