The Holdovers (2023)
Nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture, The Holdovers stars Paul Giamatti (Sideways, Billions) as a cranky prep school history teacher who is forced to remain on campus over the holidays with a grieving cook (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) and a brainy student (newcomer Dominic Sessa) who has no place to go.
Randolph won the Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe and Critics Choice awards, where Giamatti and Sessa also took home Best Actor and Best Young Actor respectively.
From Oscar-winning director Alexander Payne (Sideways, The Descendants), The Holdovers has a 97% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where it is their 36th best-reviewed film of all time. Mashable says, “The Holdovers is a terrific Payne film, bursting with sharp laughs and searing sweetness.”
