Nicole Kidman Turns Up the Comedy in ‘Holland’: First Look at a Wildly Unpredictable Thriller
Get ready, folks! Nicole Kidman is back in action, and this time she’s flipping the script in a delightful new thriller titled “Holland,” directed by the talented Mimi Cave, best known for her pulse-pounding work on “Fresh.” An exclusive first look shared by People Magazine introduces us to Kidman’s character, Nancy Vandergroot—a “meticulous” teacher whose seemingly idyllic life in tulip-filled Holland, Michigan, starts to unravel in the most unexpected ways. Think “Stepford Wives” meets a darkly humorous thriller—sounds like a wild ride!
What’s a thriller without a solid cast? Alongside Kidman, we’ve got Matthew Macfadyen from “Succession” as her husband and rising star Jude Hill from “Belfast” playing their son. Gael García Bernal steps in as her “friendly colleague,” leading the trio down a rabbit hole of secrets that will make you question everything about their perfect suburban lives. As the plot thickens, the characters discover that their carefully curated existence is anything but what it seems.
Director Cave has high praise for Kidman’s comedic chops, drawing parallels to her iconic performance in “To Die For.” Cave notes that while Kidman is known for her dramatic roles, this film allows her to flex her comedic muscle—”Her comedic timing is incredible!” she exclaims. It seems the dynamic between the two has been nothing short of magical on set, with Cave reflecting on how their collaboration led to unexpected laughter and creativity, pushing boundaries to tap into Kidman’s comedic side.
“Holland” is premiering at the SXSW Festival on March 9, 2025, and will hit Prime Video on March 27—mark your calendars, film buffs! With such a unique premise and a powerhouse cast, this definitely has the potential to become one of those cult classics we can’t help but binge-watch. Whether you’re a die-hard Kidman fan or just in it for a good thriller, “Holland” is shaping up to be the movie everyone will be talking about.
