The Holdovers Review
Reuniting with 'Sideways' actor Paul Giamatti, Alexander Payne crafts an elegant and touching film about friendship set in a lovingly nostalgic early 1970s. Opening in theaters in limited release on October 27th before opening wide on November 10th is the eighth feature film from two-time Academy Award winning filmmaker Alexander Payne ('Sideways,' 'The Descendants') entitled ‘The Holdovers.
’Reuniting with actor Paul Giamatti for the first time since 2004’s ‘Sideways,’ director Alexander Payne delivers his best movie since the acclaimed Wine-themed film. ‘The Holdovers’ is a smart, sensitive and awkwardly funny movie, which is wonderfully acted and directed and is not only set in the 1970s but is also brilliantly structured like a film from that era.
