Actress Olivia Colman debuted long, flowing grey curls and natural locks at the Zurich Film Festival in Switzerland, marking the longest her hair has been in nearly a decade. The 52-year-old star attended the screening of her new film, Wicker, stepping away from her signature brunette pixie cut while currently filming a Netflix adaptation of Pride And Prejudice. Colman wore an all-white Celine oversized dress with bow detailing, pleated trousers, and point-toe heels as she walked the green carpet alongside co-star Alexander Skarsgård.
Plot Details and Reception of the Dark Fantasy Romance Wicker
Wicker is directed and adapted from Ursula Wills’ short story The Wicker Husband. The film follows a lonely fisherwoman whose love life suffers due to a persistent fishy odor. Desperate for affection, she hires a local basket weaver—played by Peter Dinklage—to construct a husband out of wicker. The creation, brought to life by Skarsgård, becomes so alluring that it sparks intense jealousy among village residents, including characters played by Phil Daniels, Richard E Grant, and Elizabeth Debicki.
The film earned a 91 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes following its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January. Discussing her role, Elizabeth Debicki described her character as the tailor’s wife, a deeply unhappy woman whose perspective unravels after witnessing the fisherwoman make an unconventional life choice. Peter Dinklage noted that his character shares an outsider status with the fisherwoman, fostering a unique connection between them. Colman ranked the script among her top three favorites of her career, while the theatrical trailer drew widespread attention online for its unconventional romantic scenes between Colman and Skarsgård ahead of its scheduled October release dates in the US and UK.
