Saint Libby (2026)
Director: Anna Hanisch
Cast: Tatum Hatfield, Mary Buss, Barbie Bailey, Moriah Horn, Colleen Elizabeth Miller
Did you know? The film's star, then-unknown actress Haley Lu Richardson, improvised the scene where Libby teaches her aunt the "cha-cha slide" in the parking lot, which took three hours to shoot because the actor playing the nun kept breaking character from laughing.
Why Watch: "Saint Libby" is a wildly fun, rebellious romp that perfectly captures the chaotic energy of teenaged defiance against authority—think *Lady Bird* meets *Sister Act* with a splash of summer chaos. The film’s sharp script and lead performance turn a simple nun-versus-niece showdown into a hilarious, heartwarming battle of wills that keeps you grinning from start to finish. If you crave a clever, feel-good comedy with real stakes and a killer soundtrack, this is the sleeper hit your summer watchlist needs.
A 16-year-old girl’s perfect summer plans are on the line when her strict nun aunt shows up to shut down the fun. Libby will stop at nothing to hustle her aunt out of the church and into the car before the day slips away.
