4 July: CFylm presents – The Holdovers @ 1930

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.

The Holdovers is a 2023 American Christmas comedy-drama film directed by Alexander Payne and written by David Hemingson.

Set in late 1970 and early 1971, the film stars Paul Giamatti as the strict classics teacher at a New England boarding school who is forced to chaperone a handful of students with nowhere to go on the Christmas break. Da’Vine Joy Randolph portrays the school cafeteria manager, and Dominic Sessa plays one of the students who stays on campus.
