On the surface, the titular town of Holland, Michigan, seems beautiful, peaceful, and idyllic. Its windmills, fields of tulips, and pristine Dutch-inspired streets are so picturesque that they look like an amplified Disney ride — perfectly designed, never dirty or broken. Under the surface, however, hides something uglier — not just imperfect, but outright malicious. Maybe it has something to do with how everyone is well-behaved and the kind of people who use religion as an excuse to condemn any art they don't understand, while also cursing like a sailor on the regular. Maybe it's the absolute lack of any person of color except for Gael García Bernal's David Delgado. Then again, maybe it's whatever dark secret Fred, Nancy's (Nicole Kidman) husband, is hiding in his creepy train set.
