Holland
Nicole Kidman ’s new thriller movie now well out on Amazon Prime Video , Holland , has an unfathomable 24 % audience and critic sexual conquest onRotten Tomatoes , but I do n’t finger it ’s deserve of a score quite that dismal . Holland’scast of charactersstars Kidman as Nancy Vandergroot , a married woman and female parent who has begun to find isolated despite the idyllic backdrop of Holland , Michigan , as her hometown . Her situation only becomes all the more complex when she set about to suspect her husband , Fred Vandergroot ( Matthew Macfadyen ) , of cheating on her .
Of naturally , that is n’t entirely fair , as Nancy has also been carrying on with Dave ( Gael García Bernal ) behind Fred ’s back . Although the plot ab initio seems primarily focused on these respective romantic dalliances , theHollandendingreveals thatsomething so much more villainous is brew beneath the surface . As is dead on target of most thrillers , the plot unfolds with a series of edge - of - your - fanny moments and shocking turn ; however , compare to other thrillers — include Kidman ’s own — Hollandhas a remarkably poor sexual conquest .
Why Holland’s Rotten Tomatoes Scores Are So Low
There Are Legitimate Issues With The Movie
Among the ailment raised aboutHollandare the at metre nonsensical secret plan , the predictable or unoriginal thriller chemical element , and the writing . Admittedly , many of the proceeds raised in the reviews ofHollandare logical . The plot is very unmanageable to surveil , not because it is so nuanced , but because there are ribbon that only do n’t touch base . Even so , I place upright by the opinion that a 24 % score is importantly low thanHollanddeserves .
Among the complaints raise aboutHollandare the at time nonsensical patch , the predictable or unoriginal thriller elements , and the writing .
I was genuinely surprised when I end up watchingHollandand saw what theRotten Tomatoesscores were . TheHollandIMDB scoreis a moment better , currently sitting at 5.0/10 , but that still is n’t stellar . While I was well aware during my screening thatHollandhad its issues , I had n’t expected the scores to skew so heavily electronegative , particularly because I felt that many elements of the picture did work — though not the ace already cite .
Prime Video ’s Holland is a psychological thriller with some twists and grown reveals , but these leave a couple of unanswered questions and enigma .

Hollandisn’t likely to be considered high on the list ofNicole Kidman ’s good movies and TV showsany time soon , although I do think she saves the movie enough to earnHollandmore than a 24 % score . As always , Kidman ’s acting is both believable and fascinating , and , even when I felt a bit lost about the write up ’s direction , Kidman had my attention . Simply for those who sleep with Kidman as an actress , Hollandis worth the spotter .
In gain to that solid performance by Kidman , the tension inHollandlargely works . There were a number of here and now when I did n’t know what would happen next and was actually holding my breathing time in suspense . In fact , despite the major plot gadget being a bit expected by the time it was revealed , I was still queasy to see how the events play out . It ’s unfeigned thatHollandundoubtedly is n’t among 2025 ’s best moving picture , but I nevertheless believe a 24 % rating is importantly depressed than the movie merit .
