In this wildly unpredictable thriller, Nicole Kidman is the meticulous Nancy Vandergroot, a teacher and homemaker whose picture-perfect life with her community pillar husband (Matthew Macfadyen) and son (Jude Hill) in tulip-filled Holland, Michigan tumbles into a twisted tale. Nancy and her friendly colleague (Gael García Bernal) become suspicious of a secret, only to discover nothing in their lives is what it seems.

Critics Consensus

Overloaded with quirk and recycled twists, Holland's impressive style can't paper over a hollow script.

Wenlei Ma

The Nightly (AU)

Rather than carefully weaving Coen-esque absurdity with Hitchcockian thrills, it jumps from one to another without care.

Rated: 2.5/5

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

The journey there is worth taking, but it’s hard not to wish that Holland had gone a little madder, or attacked its themes a little harder, rather than building itself such a neat escape route.

Rated: 3/5

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

Andrew Sodorski’s script, which has bounced around Hollywood for a decade, has come out a half-baked mess. Cave’s role is to toss a layer of visual irony over it all and hope no one notices.

Rated: 2/5

more half-baked than satisfying. ... HOLLAND aims for the rotting picket fences of fare like Twin Peaks, but its quirks seem like quirks for quirk’s sake

Kidman and Macfadyen make “Holland” more watchable than it should be.

The Hindu

Swerving wildly between genres, with a bizarre plot, this Mimi Cave feature is saved from complete annihilation by the marvellous Ms. Kidman

For the most part this movie was a quality production with good acting (a pleasantly naturalistic performance from Kidman whose work has matured in recent years), good camera work and a fairly sharp script. The dream sequences were an unnecessary distraction for the sake of being arty but I was okay to let that slide. Then the ending came... what a way for the wheels to fall off the wagon. Everything was overcooked including an absurd Friday the 13th ending.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

While the script appears poor and banal, it's the director that misses here. No sense of genre, random visual rendition of a plastic reproducing the town without a statement of some sort, and no use of the picture to reveal something about these characters. They appear stupid. I'm sure the script could get better justice in someone else's hands. Nicole Kidman SHINES.

Kidman is fascinating to watch but the plot does not make sense because it tries too hard to walk the line between real and supernatural

I was really looking forward to this movie, given the calibre of the actors but found the storyline mostly boring until we find out the husband is a serial killer. Given the evidence against him the husband would have easily been put in jail. It's just lame. The character's could have been fleshed out but no it was still tedious to watch.

The acting in this movie is great & this Nicole Kidman resurgence is now something I am on board for. While the plot is interesting & the misdirection is fun to investigate.. the pace of the move followed by some lack of detail may lose some people. If you’re not in a rush, this is a fun watch.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A stale, small town thriller that plays it straight down the middle for its duration.
