  "account": "Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård found filming their sex scenes for the romantic tale \"Wicker\" quite enjoyable, despite the challenges posed by Skarsgård's cumbersome wicker costume. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Colman noted that Skarsgård's participation during intimate moments was described as \"soft,\" rather than awkward, due to the supportive nature of the collaboration and the humor involved in the scenes. The actress also revealed that the film's directors contributed to making the sex scenes less embarrassing. Skarsgård agreed that despite the restrictions of his costume, the filming process was successful and even admitted that the sex scenes were \"great.\" The film, based on Ursula Wills' short story \"The Wicker Husband,\" tells the story of a lonely woman, the Fisherwoman, who seeks a proper husband for herself and her village. The production's intimacy coordinator guided the cast and crew through the tricky process, ensuring a smooth and successful outcome. Critics have praised \"Wicker\" for its dark humor, moving performances, and exploration of themes like belonging, security, and pleasure.",
