AceShowbiz - Holland is a mystery thriller released in March 2025 starring Nicole Kidman, alongside Matthew Macfadyen and Gael García Bernal. Directed by Mimi Cave, the film follows the story of Nancy Vandergroot (played by Nicole Kidman), a wife, mother, and home economics teacher living in the tulip-filled town of Holland, Michigan. The story peels back the surface of Nancy’s seemingly perfect life, promising a tension-filled blend reminiscent of movies like The Stepford Wives and Don’t Worry Darling.

Despite the high expectations and a strong cast, Holland received a largely negative response from critics and audiences upon release. The film holds a low 21% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics citing an overloaded quirkiness and recycled plot twists that cannot compensate for a weak script. Audience scores echo this sentiment, with a 24% approval rating and harsh user comments labeling it “really quite terrible” and even “the worst movie ever.”

In a detailed review for Collider, Nate Richard gave Holland a 4 out of 10 rating. He pointed out that the movie’s problems could have been alleviated by additional script rewrites, suggesting that Mimi Cave’s second film effort disappoints despite her promising debut with Fresh. Richard noted that while Cave tried to guide the film in the right direction, the narrative ultimately feels directionless, and just as the story begins to intrigue, the film abruptly ends, leaving viewers puzzled and drained.

Despite the early negative reception, Holland is currently experiencing a resurgence in popularity on streaming platforms. At the time of writing, it ranks among the top ten most-streamed movies on HBO Max. This suggests that audiences may be revisiting the film with fresh eyes or that it is finding a niche appeal beyond the initial theatrical release.

The film’s runtime is 108 minutes, and it was written by Andrew Sodroski. Production credits include Bart Lipton, Kate Churchill, Nicole Kidman herself, and Per Saari. Holland is available to stream now, offering viewers the chance to form their own opinions on this divisive thriller.
