It was sold as the sexy Alexander Skarsgård basket movie, but Wicker is something far stranger and sadder than the trailer let on. We unpack the sex scene everyone’s talking about (yes, the one that broke the bed), the tiny, hooked-finger moment that made it the most intimate of the year, and why a husband who offers to fix things around the house is the real fantasy here.

We also get into Elizabeth Debicki’s icy turn as the Tailor’s Wife, Peter Dinklage quietly stealing every scene, and the wicker baby who deserves a spin-off immediately.

But beneath the horny fable is a surprisingly brutal look at how society still treats single women, and it made us rethink every wedding tradition we’ve ever witnessed. Wicker is in cinemas now.
