Heterosexual Men Urged Not To Panic As Women Merely Prefer Basket

In the film Wicker, Olivia Colman's fisherwoman finds a mutually satisfying partnership with Alexander Skarsgård, woven from twigs by a basketmaker, and the premise has sent audiences wild. Columnist Emma Beddington notes the woven spouse requires little more than a damp cloth and some furniture polish, a domestic load which several real husbands would presumably do well to study closely. Men are reassured that the basket is still man-shaped, fixes things and wears tweedy trousers, so the bar remains exactly where it was, only now made of wicker.
