Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Alexander Payne on The Holdovers | BFI Q&A

[@seymoursmix4810]

Da'Vine's character was clearly the mother to those misfit boys -- she provided the nurturing they sorely missed and needed. makes sense -- christmas stories need a mother named mary.

Incredible film, so touching

I'm glad it's getting this recognition. I loved it, not knowing most everyone else would love it as well.

[@jessie-laura]

I would pay good money to see a play based on The Holdovers (not musical though lol)

its so crazy that this film is an awards success. it's an okay film... a grumpy teacher gets humanized by a flawed student and underappreciated coworker.... it's okay..... i don't get the awards hype with the film.... but it was worth a watch. nothing groundbreaking though.

[@carolparker7668]

It's a mainstream film with real fully formed characters, actual dialogue performed by great actors, and a human scale. Not groundbreaking but becoming a rarity, so all us old farts who remember that stuff, really like it.

An okay film? Seriously ??? It was bloody amazing !!!!

[@seymoursmix4810]

well said -- boomer here -- value films that dont rely on special effects, gimmicks, casting in order to tell a story. keep it simple stupid. this film is from the heart.
