This week at the Harbor Theater

"Wicker" - (R; 1 hour, 45 minutes) - In a quiet seaside village where tradition rules and gossip travels fast, a fiercely independent fisherwoman (Oliva Colman) has had enough of being mocked and judged by her narrow-minded neighbors. Tired of being treated as an outcast and determined to find happiness on her own terms, she makes an extraordinary decision: commissioning a husband crafted entirely from wicker. But when her unconventional companion becomes the center of an unexpected romance, the village erupts in jealousy, outrage, and increasingly outrageous chaos. Blending dark comedy, romance, and a touch of the fantastical, Wicker is a wonderfully eccentric tale about love, loneliness, and the absurd lengths people will go to preserve the status quo. Both mischievous and surprisingly heartfelt, this offbeat story challenges expectations about relationships, belonging, and what it really means to find your perfect match. Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Nov. 12, 7 p.m.

Rolling Thunder Picks Up Wreath Laying Tradition

Local veterans’ groups have cut ties with controversial non-profit Wreaths Across America and are planning to scale back the annual pre-Christmas wreath-laying ceremony. The Southern Maine Veterans’ Cemetery, which has hosted the annual event, and Rolling Thunder Maine Chapter 1, which raises funds for the event, say they could no longer afford the affiliation. Last year, it cost more than $78,400 to lay wreaths for all 2,800 graves, according to Linwood Dall, member of the cemetery board. The cost would have been higher this year since the cemetery has expanded to 3,300 graves.
