As someone with two nuns in my family, I do not find the mere existence of nuns living their lives in the modern world inherently humorous. Go to Full Review

Nat Boltt has crafted something rare with Holy Days — a film that finds genuine humor in heartbreak without ever making light of either. Go to Full Review

There's nothing that particularly sets Holy Days apart from similar films, but it's a warm, enjoyable romp with likable characters and an impish spirit. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 4d
Holy Days tries hard to be sentimental and charming, but this dull and witless comedy/drama is filled with stale jokes and cringeworthy acting. Three nuns and a lonely boy go on a road trip to save the nuns from convent eviction. Go to Full Review

M 2d A very good movie - heart warming, funny, some very good "reminders" (life lessons) for all. If you're hyper religious, don't take offense - remember it's just a movie that reminds us all that we're human and in need of some type of redemption. See more Eugene B 4d Wildly fun, inspiring and sweet!! See more GuyFiery 5d Judy Davis and Jacki Weaver still have what it takes. Cute movie. Nice New Zealand landscapes See more S B @sk81988 17h I knew this film was going to be a great as soon as I saw the cast! It’s a classic road trip story, but it feels real and not overdone. The characters feel like actual people, especially between the boy and the three nuns, and the humour and the drama work well without being forced. It’s a slower film, but in a good way. Nothing flashy, just a straightforward, sincere story that feels honest the whole time. And who doesn't like a film shot in New Zealand, it's simply spectacular! See more Maria R @RT77851246 17h I actually thought it was a really cute movie. I don’t quite get the bad reviews, it’s not trying to be anything super deep. It’s just a sweet, feel-good story with great performances and some fun, memorable nuns. Honestly, what’s not to like? See more Marek P @MarekP 19h What an unexpected gem!! This is a great little movie. I found it sweet, funny and brimming with humanity. The performances are wonderful. When you're feeling down, watch this movie and the world will seem better.
