"The Holdovers" is praised for its excellent cast, particularly Paul Giamatti, Dominic Sessa, and DaVine Joy Randolph. It's described as a touching, nostalgic, and charming period piece with a steady story and sentimental elements. Some found it boring, while others noted the teen character took time to like.
Truly a wonderful movie, perhaps inspired by Dead Poets Society. Cast is excellent. Can’t miss movie.
I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed every single minute
The writers and director of “The Holdovers” have created a subtle yet sweet new Christmas classic. The cast all give exceptional performances with Paul Giamatti deftly leading the way. His costars ably sharing scenes with him, that not only give the movie humanity, humor and feeling, but allows his character to have such a meaningful journey. Highly recommended!
