The Holdovers (2023) Discomfort and Joy. Alexander Payne’s “road movie” stars Paul Giamatti, Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Dominic Sessa. Set in 1970, A cranky history teacher at a prep school is forced to remain on campus over the holidays with a grieving cook and a troubled student who has no place to go. These three very different shipwrecked people form an unlikely Christmas family sharing comic misadventures during two very snowy weeks in New England. The real journey is how they help one another understand that they are not beholden to their past-they can choose their own futures. Rated R: 2 hours 13 minutes.
