Holy Days film image; three nuns in a car with a young boy

Holy Days

In times like these, we’ll take salvation where ever we may find it, and where better than in the form of a nuns-on-the-road comedy? After his mom passes, Brian (Elijah Tamati) is comforted by Sisters Agnes, Luke and Mary Clare (Judy Davis, Miriam Margolyes and Jacki Weaver, respectively). The quirky quartet hit the road, Blues Brothers style, to save their convent from being sold to a property developer.

 

May 15 & 21: Q&A with director Nat Boltt

 

The definitive feel-good film of 2026 so far… Incredibly funny, but it’s also a poignant meditation on loss, the importance of embracing change, and the power of found family.
