Director Mimi Cave is used to telling stories where things aren’t exactly what they seem.
In her sharp directorial debutFresh, a grocery story meet-cute turns into a cannibalism-fueled nightmare.
Cave gives the town a technicolor sheen with fields of tulips and quaint cottage-like homes.
It’s the perfect place really.
But the delusion of perfection leads Nancy down rabbit holes that she would normally leave unexplored.
Kidman is the heart ofHolland, though, and she more than delivers in the role.
Hollanddeals in multiple genres, but the real balancing act here is her lead performance.
Hollandshifts into something more unsettling in its third act, going to some grotesque places.
This movie is like all of those wrapped into one.
In the upcoming thrillerHolland, Nicole Kidman portrays Nancy Vandergroot, a meticulous teacher and homemaker in Holland, Michigan. Her seemingly perfect life with husband Fred (Matthew Macfadyen) and son Harry (Jude Hill) unravels when she and colleague Dave Delgado (Gael García Bernal) uncover a disturbing secret.
Hollandpremiered at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival.
