Wicker weaves its way into the 2026 Russell Hobbs British Film Festival for a special Preview on Friday 23 October. This advanced screening includes a complimentary glass of wine on arrival. Plus, receive a copy of the official Festival programme booklet and enjoy exclusive previews of major Festival highlights before the feature presentation. Olivia Colman (The Favourite) and Alexander Skarsgård (The Northman) deliver wildly funny and wonderfully unexpected performances in Wicker, a fantastical and deliciously raunchy romantic comedy adapted from Ursula Wills-Jones’ acclaimed short story. In a remote seaside village bound by tradition and small-minded convention, Fisherwoman (Colman) is relentlessly ridiculed for her single, unloved status. Fed up with her stuffy neighbours, she commissions the local Basketmaker (Peter Dinklage) to weave her the perfect husband from wicker. When her creation arrives beyond even her wildest dreams, their unconventional romance sends shockwaves through the village. Tickets: Palace Movie Club $29, General Admission $34. Duration 105 min.
