What people are saying
A written summary appears once the title has a score.
Critics, per Wikipedia
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 62% of 21 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.3/10. Sheila O'Malley of RogerEbert.com gave the film two out of four stars and wrote, "Holy Days depends on an audience finding nuns funny, especially when they drive cars, crack jokes, or throw back a glass of wine. 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."

51 of 51 · most liked firstThere’s a new film out from NZ called Holy Days, with Miriam Margolyes as a nun, it looks a bit of fun, so I sent the trailer to my two nz friends and one goes ‘oh yeah I provided outfits for that’. NZ continues to have all of six people in it.
unlabelledView post →This movie, Holy Days, is releasing in two weeks and captioning it last year was some of the most fun I've had on the job in a long, long time. It's a joint Canada/New Zealand production, filmed in NZ. I hope people see it en masse, it's the feel-good movie you need right now.

I'm watching the classic Yiddish movie, Overture to Glory, starring the brilliant cantor and actor Moishe Oysher, as a Polish cantor who gets recruited by the Warsaw opera to sing for them.

unlabelledView post →We are watching the movie Holy Days (Hoopla) with Judy Davis and Mariam Margolyes. Set in 1974 New Zealand, about some nuns who are going to lose their convent, and a young boy who goes on a road trip with them to save it. Learned Ezekiel 23:20 includes “genitals like donkeys”. Lots of good humor.

unlabelledView post →One of *my* High Holy Days. First film I saw in theaters with just a friend (Amanda Wright!) and no parents chaperoning. First film I saw multiple times in theaters (3x total). And a VHS -- then DVD -- I watched so much I broke the damn thing(s). Still have it memorized, start to finish.

unlabelledView post →Holy Days, the movie based on the Joy Crowley book, makes a pretty good sick-day watch. It's a bit clumsy in spots. Plotwise, has similarities with The Mountain, though less focalised through the kid perspective. Also elicits Call the Midwife, though less of a Serious Drama. Fun overall, though.

unlabelledView post →Holy Days ⭐️1/2 "The movie was made with the hypothesis that nuns are funny when they are sassy, but it can't deliver because it doesn't understand that sass is more than raising your eyebrows, putting your hand on your hip, and emphasizing random words that mean nothing."

unlabelledView post →The Hamas strike came 50 years after the Yom Kippur War, just months after a prestige film about that war, Golda (starring Helen Mirren), screened in theaters. Simchat Torah is the official end of the High Holy Days. Anyone who knows the Jewish calendar could have told you this was planned.

unlabelledView post →Holy Days: this is the type of film we need to keep getting in cinema. Something sweet & lovely, which is familiar but leaves you with a warm glow. Judy, Miriam & Jackie definitely elevated the material but it’s still an emotional journey with characters you come to care about.

unlabelledView post →The young "Brian" (Elijah Tamati) is still grieving for his mum, even though she has been dead for many years and his dad (Craig Hall) has a new lady in his life - the despised "Liz" (Nathalie Boltt). His only solace seems to come from the company of a trio of ageing nuns who inhabit a ramshackle covent nearby. "Agnes" (Judy Davis) takes kindly to the youngster and is rewarded with some valuable insider information. The bishop has been conspiring with the dipso, gambling, "Father Findlay"…

unlabelledView post →Just saw Holy Days, a NZ movie about 3 nuns and a little boy who set out to save the nuns from forced retirement. Is it any good?Have you seen a lot movies before? Then you've seen this one. Is it funny or emotional enough to over come the clichés riddled throughout it? Nope. Not at all.

unlabelledView post →Holy Days is a heartfelt movie about accepting the things you cannot change (death), moving through that grief (with support from family) to then fight for the things you can change (stopping greedy capitalists). Elijah Tamati is a child actor who can actually act and carries the movie. 4.7/5
