The Holdovers is a very good film, fun and heartbreaking at the same time. This film is the journey of each character who feels "lonely" to find peace from every problem in their life.

Very good performances and chemistry from the characters Paul Giamatti, Dominic Sessa and Da'Vine Joy Randolph who are very lovable and warm.

Good script by David Hemingson and beautiful directing by Alexander Payne.

And I really like the 70's Christmas vibes.
