It's moving, completely obvious in every single way, and I loved it anyhow.

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.

It’s a heartwarming adventure that is bound to stir feelings in your bones by the end, even with the strangely placed, sudden tragedy of its climax. Holy Days is one to watch when you need a gentle pick-up and a reminder that miracles can happen.

Strives mightily to be magical and heartwarming, but it misses the mark despite the efforts of a starry cast of veterans in the wimples.

2.5/5

The film strains for a laugh in nearly every scene, when a quieter approach, that didn't try so hard to be liked, might have yielded a more real resonance and pay-off.

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.

Disappointing given the array of talent on board. Tired storyline (the drunk and betting priest, really?) and too much religious nonsense for this viewer. Missed so many marks and comedic delivery apart from Miriam Margolyes was just not there. The child lead didn’t do anything to aid the movie. Even the director taking a role couldn’t save this one. So many better films on offer at present.

A very sweet, heartwarming film. Nice to see at a time in the world that seems so dark and sad. Lovely performance by the three female leads and the young boy. Can’t beat the NZ scenery! Good on the Canadian and NZ backers for helping to get this one made!
