The Holdovers

 

One of the finest films of the year. Set in the 1970's at a New England boarding school, Giamatti stays behind at Christmas time to watch the students who don't go home and forms a special bond with one of them This is a wonderfully moody piece that at times reminded me of Robert Altman. It felt like it was actually made in the 1970's and that is remarkable. The entire picture is beautifully acted and realized with a knockout soundtrack. Nearly Flawless...A MUST SEE
