Holy Cow (15)

Holy Cow is the heartwarming story of 18-year-old Totone who spends most of his time drinking and partying with his friends. After the tragic loss of his father, Totone assumes responsibility for his younger sister and their failing family farm in the Jura, France. He decides to make the best Comté cheese in the region, aiming to win the gold medal and ?30,000 at the agricultural competition. Eliciting brilliant performances from local non-professionals and embedding herself in this often distrustful community, Courvoisie brings us a warm, sometimes funny film. Lead actor Clément Faveau is a poultry farmer in real life and gives a fantastically irate performance. Winner of the Youth Award at 2024 Cannes Festival ?sentimental in the best of ways, with its warmth and hope in human nature? The Guardian.
