Observer

Sthers mistakenly thinks the more unconventional she makes the characters, the more we'll like them. What actually happens instead is just the opposite.

Rated: 2/4

There's so little to these characters beyond a few superficial traits that when serious things happen-and boy, do they happen-it is impossible to be moved the way Sthers intends for us to be.

Rated: 1.5/4

Kevin Maher

The Times (UK)

There's a sliver of a plot about Harry raising pigs and his family feeling sad, but all is lost within a cacophony of bum notes and fake emotion. Howlingly bad.

Rated: 1/5

...whenever Caan and Hollander are on-screen, they show a great chemistry, ideal for the philosophical ruminations of the script...

Caan and Hollander's chemistry cannot redeem this flawed foray into family love and trigger testing.

Rated: 2 / 5

Holy Lands is an interesting film about a family with a lot of disfunction. There were parts that were funny, but overall it wasn't what I hoped it would be.

Rated: 5.5/10
