Holy Cow

Ultimately, the comté is beside the point: the nourishment in this terrific, big-hearted drama comes from Courvoisier’s satisfyingly full-blooded characters.

[Courvoisier's] vivid film is so alive you may believe you could even reach out and touch it — or eat it.

This is not necessarily an outstanding or unusual production as contemporary French realism goes, but it is robust, enjoyable and unsentimental — the good stuff, raw and unpasteurised.

This coming-of-age tale from debut writer/director Louise Courvoisier features its fair share of darkness, but it’s shot through with compassion and humour.

An auspicious debut for everyone involved.

Commitment, timing and patience make for a delightfully mature bite.

A quirky celebration of the underdog, Holy Cow proves that having realism in storytelling doesn’t mean you have to be gloomy. An uplifting, scrappy comedy that should delight independent cinema fans.

This slice of life is a visual triumph and a joy to watch.

In Louise Courvoisier’s debut feature, she crafts a coming-of-age story that's sensitive yet visceral.

This is a fine, perceptive film with a modesty that belies its emotional depth and Courvoisier’s technical acuity.
