Synopsis:
From acclaimed director Alexander Payne, THE HOLDOVERS 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.
The format may be unsurprising but there is nothing unsurprising about just how good and enjoyable this is… this is the kind of bittersweet, character-dialogue driven piece they just don’t do anymore.
