The Holdovers

Just watched this movie last night and it will be added to our watch around Christmas list. very funny, heart warming and entertaining from start to finish.

Heartfelt awesome movie. This is a really great movie and I’d watch it again and again. Fantastic writing and acting. Thank you for making this one, it’s a refreshing change from most of the Hollywood garbage coming out recently.

This Film is shot beautifully, has great music, great actors, and a instant xmas classic put right in rotation with the classics.

Yes, there is a lot of heartbreak in the film. But it’s not about heartbreak. It’s also not just about surviving your circumstances. It’s about living and not allowing yourself to accept what you assume is your fate. There’s a lot of truth here about ethics and integrity and entitlement and compassion. And it’s very funny. A lot of humor can come from overcoming adversity or tragedy or fear and empowering inspiration is often derived from little personal victories. Those are things we can all understand and to which we can all relate. The period detail is so authentic that you just kind of forget it was recently filmed. The acting is terrific, especially from the three leads. Giamatti’s role must have been written specifically for him because it’s impossible to imagine anyone else playing the part. The set design is rich and full of character and the writing is honest and witty and frequently emotional without becoming exploitive or maudlin. I can’t imagine changing a thing. Highly recommended.

For those that say this is too depressing, you are weak and pathetic.

This is one of the best films I saw this year. 2023 is when Hollywood started releasing REAL FILMS again and I’m very glad they did. HIGHLY recommended!

This is one of the few movies i’ve bought, and it was so worth it. It’s genuinely so moving and well done! A movie that will affect anyone with a heart, and an instant classic for the snowy holidays :)

And I agree, it is kind of depressing.

A great classic movie that feels like how good well rounded movies were made back in the day. Acting was great and the story line was interesting enough for you to want to find out what happens till the very end.

This is the best movie I have watched this year! Thought provoking and extremely well acted!! I am going to rent again!!
