Leon H @RT13589101 Oct 8, 2026 Highly enjoyable French film about a young man's struggles to raise his much younger sister and alleviate their money worries after his father dies in an accident (NOT a spoiler - it happens early on). Our main character is initially hard to like but is well written and, like all of us, has flaws as well as likeable traits. The actor playing the younger sister has the face of a woman in her late twenties! Watched 7th Oct 2026 See more Bob P @bobpotter50 Jun 5, 2026 Holy Cow this was dull. The characters were not well developed and the ending was out of nowhere. If you love reading subtitles knock yourself out, but I'm still confused by all the great reviews. See more Bob L @RT76975801 May 10, 2026 I had a difficult time believing that the son of a dairy worker in a rural town almost entirely dedicated to niche cheese-making could be allowed to remain completely ignorant of the process, or that he'd ever physically put his obviously drunken dad behind the wheel of a car to drive himself home. Other than that, this quirky movie (one scene involves both cunnillingus and the delivery of a live baby cow) is a perfect setup for a Majic Mike style sequel (let's call it "Hard Cheese") where hot French guys can give strip shows and work glory holes to help Totone raise money for his cheesemaker certification.

See more Rob W @Mr_Inbetween Sep 5, 2025 Simple but beautifully told and acted. Even better if you love cheese 😁 See more Wayne M @Wayne93 Aug 7, 2025 Holy Cow is a thoughtful and authentic film about overcoming tragedy and striving for the best. It's full of passion and real life experiences. The film marks the feature film debut of Louise Courvoisier who is from the region of Jura in France where the film is set. Here we find teenager Totone who spends a carefree life with his friends. He also works for his father, a local cheesemaker. When his father is killed in a car accident it thrusts Totone into a stark reality. He not only has to care for his younger sister, but also find a fulltime job. When he hears of a local cheese competition that offers 30,000 in prizemoney it becomes his goal to gain entry and win. But with limited funds, he has to be very creative. This is a warm hearted film that is both a family drama and an ode to the traditional methods of regional France. The film also uses untrained actors, adding further authenticty to a wonderful little film. See more Read all reviews
