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.

Holy Days is the definitive feel-good movie of 2026 so far. From its vibrant tone to its wholesome story, you’re guaranteed to walk out of the theater with a smile on your face.

Leaning on the mistaken assumption that gross out humor, frenzied nonsensical activities and juvenile antics are innately amusing if nuns do it, it makes for a puzzling, frustrating viewing experience

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

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.

I feel it is my responsibility to sing the praises of Holy Days - the film truly touched my soul. The themes of loss, faith, and friendship are delicately woven throughout the story. Plus, the genuine charm, innocence, and lightness of New Zealand ties everything together quite beautifully. The film elicited both tears and giggles - it is a true testament to the heartwarming story and relatable characters. And of course, the stunning landscapes of the beloved South Island made for an incredibly fun adventure (with a personal touch of nostalgia as I lived in New Zealand for many years). I highly recommend Holy Days!
