    Holy Cow (2024) Review: Comté, Grief and Growing Up

    Holy Cow is Louise Courvoisier's warm, earthy debut about a Jura teenager who tries to make prize-winning cheese after his father's death. It is funny and tender.

    Yes. It is a charming, unsentimental coming-of-age drama with a terrific young cast, best for viewers who enjoy rural settings and humour mixed with grief.
