Holy Days

May 25, 2026 2:00 PM

When the last of the sisters of St. Suzanne’s face forced retirement, they take matters into their own hands. They plan a dash to New Zealand’s stunning South Island to someone who can hopefully defend their rights.

A young Māori boy who joins them has a secret mission of his own. But things go terribly wrong and this oddball group of friends faces their greatest challenge yet. Directed by Nathalie Boltt and starring veteran actresses Judy Davis, Miriam Margoyles and Jackie Weaver.

Actor-filmmaker Nat Boltt keeps things sunny and colourful, finding humour in the characters' sparky personalities and earthy emotion in the situations. And the movie provides three veteran actresses with colourful, meaty roles to sink their teeth into. Rich Cline/Shadows on the Wall

A family friendly story of faith, support and mutual growth, Holy Days is a dryly humorous movie that presents big ideas about love, life and loss in a playful but heartfelt movie. Richard Crouse

Three nuns and a Kiwi boy go on a cross-country jaunt to save their convent in this chipper, life-affirming comedy. Christopher Lloyd/The Film Yap
