The Holdovers

from Film Optimists · host Film Optimists

Happy Holidays All! The big day has come and gone but we're keeping spirits bright by dwelling on the thing that matters most: Paul Giamatti. That's right, we're talking about the modern holiday classic, The Holdovers. Set in a New England boarding school in 1970, Paul Giamatti stars as a Paul Hunham, an absolute curmudgeon of teacher who is stuck chaperoning students with no where else to go over the holiday break. The film also stars Da'Vine Joy Randolph whose performance as Mary Lamb, the cafeteria manager, won her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar and newcomer Dominic Sessa as Angus Tully, one of the unfortunate students.
