Wicker's strong Tomatometer standing stems from its October 23 wide release, where critics praised the raunchy yet tender romantic fantasy fable based on Ursula Wills-Jones's short story, highlighting Olivia Colman's vulnerable lead turn, Alexander Skarsgård's charismatic wicker creation via Weta Workshop effects, and sharp social satire. The film earned Certified Fresh status near 93-95% from 95-150 reviews shortly after opening, building on Sundance buzz and positive early notices for its balance of humor, creature work, and emotional depth. With audience scores also landing in the low 90s and expansion to over 2,300 theaters, momentum favors stability in the high 90s, though additional reviews through early November could introduce minor shifts before any market resolution.
