Own it Now on Digital, Blu-ray & DVD :uni.pictures/T...
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).

Best movie of the year in my humble opinion.

[@of1300]

Only by seeing trailers I come to the same conclusion.

[@JLee-g6w]

I liked this movie but I still think Oppenheimer was the best film of 2023

[@superjackster0165]

@@JLee-g6wOppenheimer is my second favorite movie of 2023. This movie is #5 on that list

[@nathanmitchell958]

#2 on my list. So amazing

[@MauricioJara]

If it weren’t for Oppenheimer coming out the same year, hell yeah. I get that Oppenheimer is a feat of film making, but I know The Holdovers is going to be a movie I’m going to rewatch for every holiday season that is come.

[@studiosatire]

A movie that can make you feel deeply human, belly laugh, tear up and root for the characters for two hours long, is a world class movie. Five stars out of five.

[@zaziou711]

Give Paul Giamatti the oscar please. He was fabulous in this, as always.

[@AshCosgrove]

He won the golden globe. Good sign!

GIVE THIS MOVIE THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR OSCAR... deeply felt with emotions that are real and heartfelt. Love to the whole cast and crew for making this a totally healing and deeply felt movie.. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. ! Merri

[@clairjunior5291]

Fantastic movie and exceptional acting by the three main characters. Paul Giamatti in any movie makes it a great one.

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

Loved this movie, will eventually become a christmas classic I bet, has all the humour and wit of a John Hughes film mixed with elements of Dead Poets Society & Scent of a Woman. Very heartwarming too

[@blondie9422]

Enjoyed every minute of this film!

[@Star_man_with_power]

ME and my family have made the decision to watch this movie every Christmas

[@sarahbgln]

I will do the same! 🎄

Mary is a better Mom to Angus than his own!!!! Love Mrs. Lamb!!!!❤

[@clarencepeterson8646]

The mom has been married for months and she decides to go on a Honeymoon on Christmas when she has a kid. I really hate her.

[@superjackster0165]

IKR. The very least thing she could’ve done was let him know a few days ahead of time

[@clarencepeterson8646]

​@@superjackster0165Yes. Telling him the moment that he was supposed to be picked up. Unbelievable.

[@superjackster0165]

@@clarencepeterson8646Exactly. Sure, she’d still be an awful person if she did what I suggested. But giving Angus a heads up a few days prior would’ve at least given him the opportunity and time to possibly make other plans for Holiday break that didn’t involve being stuck at the school

[@samosullivan1744]

Teensy spoiler alert: If you think that’s bad, just wait till you see her at the end of the film, the stepfather’s even worse!

[@superjackster0165]

@@samosullivan1744 I saw that. Man, it was so satisfying to see the professor call them out for practically abandoning Angus during the holidays. I honestly wish that scene had gone on a little longer

Finally someone else sees it too! I had to say it out loud laughing in the theater for the audience to get it

[@katierush9584]

Loved this film, brilliant acting, humour, pathos, etc

[@agentcooper4627]

This is a movie that asks what is Christmas to people who are unloved, unlovable and heartbroken. It's more profound than most films.

[@annalisavajda252]

Some people say they wish everyday could be like Christmas so just make Christmas like every other day.

[@BigJunnySoprano69]

Hello Dale

[@RTWLR]

Honestly, it gave insight to me because there was a time I legit didn’t want to go home for Spring Break at college. Now I think I know what that would’ve been like

[@KingpinPadre]

Saw the preview for this shortly after BILLIONS wrapped. I told my wife we're going to see it to support Giamatti. Money well spent......he was tremendous! This was a fantastic movie.

Giamatti should be the next Commissioner of Baseball ⚾️

Adversity builds character, if it continues it gives you PTSD.

ChatGPT next time? 😉

[@RTWLR]

I can see what Angus was fighting for. My start at SCAD was a rough transition, but it was only 10 weeks and none of my professors were dicks (except one, but that’s irrelevant) like this joker, who is clearly a failure at life taking out his anger on his students. After the first quarter ended, I was on winter break, which is almost as long as the quarter itself, extending from Thanksgiving to New Year’s because of all the international population that would prefer not to be yanked back and forth. Sounded like party time, right? Wrong! It took me almost the whole of 10 weeks to find my flow and then everything just comes to a screeching halt? I couldn’t enjoy myself because I was in a constant state of underachievement, and all I wanted was to do was more work that would feed my JPA. Basically, as great as the long break was, the only word that describes the effect it had on my mental state and adjustment to college life is *Detrimental* In this case, how does this guy expect all of his students to do nothing but work when they’ve already put in their hours and are ready to just be with their families when he’s already brought nothing but misery to their academic lives already

[@Zane_Zaminsky]

F+?

[@ryanparkercolour]

Is an F+ closer to a D or is it a super duper F?

[@Whh1978]

It looks great but the Achilles heal of American college films is the kids are played by actors 10 years older.

[@mmarshfairc3]

This film doesn’t have that issue. By far most of the actors look the part. The main character who is meant to be college aged IS college aged. He’s 21 years old, Dominic Sessa. This was his first major film debut.

[@Whh1978]

Thanks. I saw the film today and it was superb. My wife and I came out feeling very happy.

@@fromthehaven94 it took me out of the story instantly. I believe a little CGI patch wouldn't hurt

[@fromthehaven94]

@@hzubovi1 I guess I'm not such an expert on cars. The movie was preceded with the old MPAA rating sign usually placed at the end of movies. That was enough to suggest to me that it wasn't set in the present.
