Paul Giamatti, Dominic Sessa, and Da'Vine Joy Randolph in Winter Break (2023)

From acclaimed director Alexander Payne, THE HOLDOVERS follows a curmudgeonly instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a New England prep school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them -- a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa) -- and with the school's head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam (Da'Vine Joy Randolph).

Anecdotes
Many of the scenes were filmed at Fairhaven High School in Fairhaven, Massachusetts in February 2022 during the school's February break. At this time, the area received a snow storm to the delight of the film crew since many of the scenes took place during a snowstorm. They took full advantage of the weather and the snow you see in the film was from an actual snowstorm.

Gaffes
When Paul and Angus go to the "packie" (liquor store) in Cambridge, the sign on the front shows open hours on Sunday. In 1970, Massachusetts still had "Blue Laws" that forbade liquor stores to open on Sunday.

Citations
Paul Hunham: There's nothing new in human experience, Mr. Tully. Each generation thinks it invented debauchery or suffering or rebellion, but man's every impulse and appetite from the disgusting to the sublime is on display right here all around you. So, before you dismiss something as boring or irrelevant, remember, if you truly want to understand the present or yourself, you must begin in the past. You see, history is not simply the study of the past. It is an explanation of the present.

Crédits fous
The film opens with a 1970s-styled MPAA film rating card, followed by 1970s-styled versions of the Focus Features and Miramax logos, to fit the film's December 1970 setting.

Additionally, on home video & digital editions distributed by Universal, the 1963 Universal Pictures logo is seen as well.

Versions alternatives
The UK version of the film replaces the opening vintage MPAA rating card with a similarly vintage BBFC certificate card showing an AA rating, which was used prior to the 1982 introduction of the current 15 rating. This change was mandated by the BBFC due to the MPAA card's classification as a "misleading category symbol" in the UK. For this reason, the film is listed as "cut" on the BBFC's website.

Sweet and Thoughtful

Very enjoyable film with outstanding performances and a wonderful warm vibe accompanied by the Christmas season. It's funny at times, sad at times, and feel-good. It's a story that almost all can relate to and will really touch your heart. It deals with so many themes, but mainly grief, the past, family, and what makes a person who they are. It's also very original and has a great script, cinematography, and soundtrack. I would highly advise to see it in the theaters as well as you really get the 70's vibe and deep moment on the big screen. There aren't many negatives to this film and I would recommend it to most people.
