The Holdovers

[IPartridge]

Saw this today and thought it was a lovely film. I thought it was just going to be a comedy but it was much more.

Really enjoyed it. But I did love Sideways. It made me feel a bit tight-chested when I recognised in Paul some of the spiky, lonely individuals I've met in life.

We saw this last night.

I absolutely loved it, a glorious and ultimately warm hearted film. The story is fairly slight, but the acting from all the lead characters is amazing.

I thought the young lead was incredible.

@rookiemere sooo agree on the young lead actor, thought he was brilliant and hope to see him in many more films.
Also the woman, such a sensitive part done with depth.
Loved it all.

We saw it yesterday and absolutely loved it.

It could so easily have gone down the cheesy 'too American'-type ending, but didn't do that. I laughed and cried. The acting was fantastic. So much conveyed just through looks.

I’ve just come back from seeing this. It was such a gentle film & I really enjoyed it.

I finally saw it tonight. I thought it was lovely. The main actors were excellent but the small parts were well cast too. I thought the two younger boys were very sweet. I don't think I'd seen Carrie Preston in anything since True Blood and she was ideal for her role.

I loved the story arc, the characters' development. It was subtle but also moving. Bit of a masterclass for me, even though it took me while to warm to some of the characters. Luckily I hadn't seen the trailer, so had no expectations.

Totally underwhelming. The young male actor was great though, but I really don't understand why Giamatti is being lauded for his competent performance.

Really loved this film. Loved the story, loved the characters, loved the whole 70s aesthetic.

Dominic Sessa really reminds of a young Brad Dourrif.

This film is such a mismatch to its trailer, though also fairly predictable.

some nice emotional touches, and I had a tear in my eye at the end, but it’s not a classic IMHO, just a relatively nice, gentle, slow film.

I can finally now watch this on NOW and SKY TV

And I'm thoroughly enjoying it as I knew I would
