THE HOLDOVERS - Official Trailer [HD] - In Select Theaters October 27, Everywhere November 10

A new film by Alexander Payne, director of SIDEWAYS and THE DESCENDANTS. Paul Giamatti stars in THE HOLDOVERS, in select theaters October 27, everywhere November 10.
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. 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).

[@streetrat48]

Saw this trailer before Oppenheimer, I was blown away that this trailer actually managed to capture the actual look of an old film that so many try and fail to capture because they look too polished. Seems to be a smart, heartwarming film! Almost pulled out of time! Can't wait to see it!

[@theknack101]

Yeah. The effect isn't really quite captured here, but the trailer in the theater looked and sounded like an older movie. It was pretty cool.

[@streetrat48]

@@theknack101 Definitely agree with that, it looked PERFECT in the theater. I'm guessing with digital transportation we'll really never get that look unless we see it in the theaters, which I totally plan to do.

This trailer feels so much like what trailers felt like in the late 90s or early 2000s... movie trailer voice, the editing between the music and the voices/lines and the shots, that very particular tempo between those three things... It struck me how I haven't seen a trailer like this in very a long time. It's super well made, just on that basis.

First off I have to say this is one of Paul Giamatti’s greatest performances in his entire career. And the rest of the cast is perfection as well. Everyone involved in this movie is Oscar Worthy. The Holdovers really reminded me of the film style and comedy/drama tone of classic 1970’s era classic movies from the great Hal Ashby, such as The Landlord, Harold And Maude, The Last Detail and Being There. Also it reminded me of classic 70’s movies from Bob Rafelson like Five Easy Pieces and The King Of Marvin Gardens. You could make a case that this movie is right up there with these great classics from that era. It feels like an all time great lost gem directly from the 70’s

This was filmed at my high school. I ate meals for four years at the dining hall in the thumbnail. I have indeed, spent a holdover long weekend on that same campus, but it was by choice, because I wanted to hang out with my friends and goof off lol

Saw this trailer before Oppenheimer earlier today. Knew nothing about this movie. But I can’t wait to see it.

[@xx_theartfuldodger_xx1105]

Same, saw it before Oppenheimer and put it in my notes on my phone :)

[@zedinlimbo1]

Brilliant movie. Brilliant script, casting, directing. I laughed. I cried. It was for me the most satisfaying movie of 2023!

[@JustDontCall]

This is exactly the kind of trailer I WANT TO SEE. I love the 70s trailer look, I'm definitely watching it.

[@sleepybear7YT]

from the first act i was hooked and invested the second act i was comforted and as happy as i could have been the third act i was absolutely gut punched and heartbroken. all together one of the best and most original films of the year, so cool to be here at the beginning of Dominic Sessas career. amazing film

[@OswaldNorton]

I loved this film. The main actors - Paul Giamatti, Dominic Sessa, Da'Vine Joy Randolph - and all of the supporting actors were fantastic. Highly recommend seeing this on whatever platform you can.

Saw this trailer whilst waiting to watch Oppenheimer at the cinema today and I instantly had to search it up. It has a beautiful nostalgic feeling attached to it, I’m so down to watch this film! (I guess I’m so fond of the trailer because it reminds me of Dead Poets Society in a way)

[@snu3877]

I saw this today. Just a wonderful movie.

[@Clintsessentials]

Agree!!!

[@TheseBitchesWantNikes]

Was absolutely delighted by it.

[@wanderlking8634]

The song is Glad by Traffic in case anyone is wondering. It used to play in auditoriums and on trailers all the time. Excellent choice here.

[@Jiggerjaw]

Thank you so much, every time an ad for this movie comes on, I try to recall this. I was certain it was Traffic, but the only Traffic album I really know is Low Spark, and it wasn't there, and I wasn't about to go through the whole discography. So this time, I finally decided to go to this upload and look through the comments. YOU SAVED ME MY DUDE.

[@michaelholstrom49]

Just by the style of music and the way it’s shot you can tell it’s gonna be one of the greats where you can laugh and cry all in one👏🏼I’m excited

[@Michelle-nk3wm]

This is one of my favorite movies in a really long time. So heartwarming & funny, amazing actors. Will rewatch every year

[@akiraperu1]

the freeze frame at the end make me choke with laughters😂

[@JordanShipEnt]

Just saw the movie here in Rome. I think it's a masterpiece of our times.

[@PianoKeyzOfficial]

I appreciate the deep voice narration like the 90s movies.

[@fabz1509]

"Crying, crying never did nobody no good no how" Fantastic drama played flawlessly by the master Paul Giamatti. Loved the sound track.

[@thecharmingphilosopher7697]

I honestly went into this thinking it was going to largely be a comedy, but what I found was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time.

[@rolandlewismusic]

This trailer makes me feel like I've stepped into a time machine. I like it here.

[@harnekkallah2656]

A beautifully crafted film, incredible writing. Paul Giammati is amazing

[@davidmarlajurek5038]

Just finished watching this beautiful film❤. Well deserved praise all around. I predict this will be a yearly watch from now on. So happy great films with real acting and no need for CGI or over- compensating physical “transformations/glow-ups” can still be made. Character development and intelligent script, as it used to be. And, cannot wait to see more of the talented cast, specially the sharp Ms. Randolph, post Academy Award, and the newcomer Mr. Sessa! This film was a true joy to see 😊.

[@JPWick]

Director: Hey editor, how much do you want to troll moviegoers with a retro trailer? Editor: Yes.

[@quandotenhotempo]

I love Alexander Payne's movies. I can't wait to watch this one. And also Paul Giamatti is one of my favorite actors. ❤

[@jaydenreifenrath6654]

Just saw the movie this week. Absolutely loved it!! Just came back to watch the trailer again and enjoy. Couldn’t recommend it enough

[@javagirl]

Wonderful story and superb acting. The close up scene near the end when Angus talks about his father is so moving and real; Dominic Sessa nailed it, absolutely nailed it. As did Paul Giamatti when he had to make a choice. Amazing and so touching.

[@shanehooper2859]

Honestly going down as one of my favorite movies of all time. Well done

[@ethanwood9124]

Just finished watching this film, it will be looked at as a classic years from now. Absolutely amazing.

[@gian19791]

It’s like the breakfast club epic and classic combined

[@rnadomj]

Something that modern films trying to replicate older films rarely get right is the audio quality. This has got it perfect!

[@jayman2899]

Seen it twice , very heartfelt down to earth vibe, imo.

[@count_bodies_like_sheep9296]

I am going to be honest, this movie was drawing me in with Paul Giamatti but it sold me just from Badfinger's "No Matter What" alone.

[@cruddddddddddddddd]

Alexander Payne is a talent. Nice to see Giamatti working with him again. This looks good.

[@dariussalepetru6770]

I love Payne
