Holy Moms

A cringe-inducing, sharply observed comedy of social anxiety and peer pressure among mothers, where every message feels like a status battle.

Directed by

Johanna Thalmann

Genres

Comedy

Starring

Lavinia Wilson, Nadja Sabersky, Thomas Gräßle

Overview

Liv Mehlmann wants to throw an unforgettable birthday party for her daughter Alicia (14). But when she sends a message to the "Holy Moms" chat group that the precocious Rosie will also attend the party, the helicopter moms freak out. Rosie is not a good influence, she's got to go, immediately. Liv becomes a tool for social exclusion and ends up being marginalized herself. Teenagers don't have it easy. But mothers, whose social status is wavering, get their just deserts, too.
