Rather than carefully weaving Coen-esque absurdity with Hitchcockian thrills, it jumps from one to another without care.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 22, 2025

Nicole Kidman tries her best to make a movie you would want to visit, but just doesn't quite make it.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 16, 2025

Mimi Cave’s film flounders in a stylistic miasma. Not quite comedy. Not quite thriller. No edge. No commitment.

| Original Score: C | Apr 15, 2025

Nicole Kidman shines amidst the confusion, but neither her talent nor her visual style are enough to save a story that gets lost in its own labyrinth. [Full review in Spanish]

When you add in a painfully underused Rachel Sennott, it makes Holland all the more disappointing.

| Original Score: C | Apr 10, 2025

Nicole Kidman is doing what all she can to keep Mimi Cave’s sophomore feature Holland afloat, but she is just one person, struggling to bail water as more pours in through gaping holes.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 8, 2025

The problem with Holland is that it’s so prosaic, the mind creates better films as you’re watching it.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 7, 2025

...Holland is hampered by a meandering narrative and a supporting role that is portrayed as both charming and unpleasant. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 7, 2025

Woozy, oneiric, and ultimately incoherent, the film’s boxed-in environs attempt to mimic the fragile psychology of its childlike protagonist, and — given a tighter and meatier screenplay — might have succeeded.

| Apr 4, 2025

The journey there is worth taking, but it’s hard not to wish that Holland had gone a little madder, or attacked its themes a little harder, rather than building itself such a neat escape route.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2025

At some point, the film abandons the creepy tone and takes a cheap, obvious direction. If you’re someone who likes to guess the plot twist, the version in your head is likely more compelling than the choices Sodorski and Cave make.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 4, 2025

It's mostly, unfunny, unfocused and un-logical.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 3, 2025

Despite having a potentially intriguing premise, this is strikingly dull movie. It’s not dark enough to be an exercise in Film Noir, not sharp enough to offer up any social commentary and not original enough to surprise us.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 2, 2025

Purposefully unreal, the meticulous production design of this film compensates for a thin story but also ultimately undermines it, even despite three skilled lead actors.

| Apr 2, 2025

“Holland” is stronger in parts and weaker as a whole. There is enough to hold onto, but I couldn’t help but think it could have been something greater.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 1, 2025

Andrew Sodorski’s script, which has bounced around Hollywood for a decade, has come out a half-baked mess. Cave’s role is to toss a layer of visual irony over it all and hope no one notices.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 1, 2025

No one involved with Holland seems to understand what they’re up to at all...

| Mar 31, 2025

The movie is more than two-thirds over by the time director Mimi Cave’s laborious establishment of the ironically perky mood resolves into anything as solid as a plot twist.

| Mar 31, 2025

Instead of building an intriguing atmosphere, the film becomes bogged down in a mix of black comedy and psychological thriller that never quite manages to balance the necessary doses of humor with the necessary tension. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Mar 31, 2025

Nicole Kidman has perfected the art of the wronged housewife, but that’s not enough to elevate the shallow nightmare of Holland. This derivative thriller is in need of some Dutch courage.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 31, 2025
