## Description

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 the holiday 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). BONUS FEATURES * DELETED SCENES * WORKING WITH ALEXANDER * THE CAST OF THE HOLDOVERS * AND MORE!

Review: Simply wonderful. - This is a classic. Stela performances all round. A nostalgic direction sets this in the 80s and the edit keeps it in pace with that smarter feel of direction. Touching, poignant, just absolutely everything you could wish for. I wish I had more stars to award it.
Review: the film of the year? - I saw this film the same day that I watched 'Poor Things'. That film got all the media attention and the awards, but 'The Holdovers' is the one that has stayed with me. This is a film for people who like reading novels - it's thoughtful, funny, warm-hearted but not sentimental, and it takes you into a completely realised world. I loved it.

This is a classic. Stela performances all round. A nostalgic direction sets this in the 80s and the edit keeps it in pace with that smarter feel of direction. Touching, poignant, just absolutely everything you could wish for. I wish I had more stars to award it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the film of the year?
*by P***E on 11 March 2025*

I saw this film the same day that I watched 'Poor Things'. That film got all the media attention and the awards, but 'The Holdovers' is the one that has stayed with me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ far better than we expected - head and shoulders above Sideways
*by J***N on 29 October 2024*

We bought this DVD mainly based on the generally good reviews of Sideways, another Paul Giamatti film, which we also bought at the same time. Frankly, the latter film is tedious in the extreme, and we binned it after scarcely a half hour, whilst The Holdovers actually has a good story line and fair production values, and it kept us entertained until the end. Not a masterpiece by any means but certainly worth watching.
