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 doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it’s a great bit of fun anchored by four wonderful performances.

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.

This film is my absolute favourite of 2026. I was crying and laughing from top to bottom. Nathalie Boltt wove together a story of young grief and nuns who are soon to be displaced beautifully. I find the best stories cut right to the heart AND the funny bone all at once. Brilliant casting. Well done!!

I adored this film. When a film like this comes along every decade or so, one is reminded how it is a much needed tonic for the soul. Bittersweet, heartwarming and refreshing.
