The Holdovers

“[A] consistently smart, funny movie about people who are easy to root for and like the ones we know.” – RogerEbert.com

“It’s the warmest cinematic experience you’ll have all year.” – The New York Post

“The vibes are immaculate from the start and only grow more so as the characters gradually start to become as detailed as the world that The Holdovers constructs around them.” – indieWire

Synopsis:

This film follows a curmudgeonly instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a New England prep school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them — a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa) — and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam (Da’Vine Joy Randolph).
