Holy Days, starring Miriam Margolyes, has received a brutal two-out-five review. The Oxford-born actress has starred in multiple films and television shows, including the Harry Potter film series. On the comedy front, the film reportedly resorted to predictable humour, leaning heavily on the 'nuns behaving controversially' trope. Despite these criticisms, the review appreciated the contributions of Margolyes, Davis, and Weaver, stating their performances still provided moments of interest. Margolyes, know for her character actor work across film, television, and stage, received the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Mrs Mingott in Martin Scorsese's 1993 film, The Age of Innocence.
