The Holdovers | Official Trailer | SkyShowtime
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 the holiday 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).
Giamatti stars as Paul Hunham, an adjunct professor of ancient history – universally disliked by students and faculty – who gets stuck holding over at Barton Academy with the kids who can’t go home for the holidays. It’s his punishment and penance for failing a high-profile student whose father recently endowed the school’s gymnasium.
Thanks to a holiday miracle – in the form of one father’s change of heart – the motley crew of boys under Hunham’s care is soon whittled down to just one: Angus Tully, played by Dominic Sessa in his film debut.
Angus is a smart but damaged junior who is trying his best to navigate a host of complicated family dynamics. Also holding over is Mary Lamb, portrayed by Da’Vine Joy Randolph, the head cook of the school whose only child Curtis, a recent graduate of Barton, was killed in Vietnam. Still deep in grief, Mary chooses to stay at Barton because it was the last place she was with her son.
Left to their own devices in the empty school, this unlikely trio finds adventure, calamity, and finally, some semblance of family.
The Holdovers is directed by Academy Award® winner Alexander Payne (Sideways, The Descendants) from a script by David Hemingson (Kitchen Confidential). Produced by Mark Johnson (Rain Man, Breaking Bad), Emmy® nominee Bill Block (Halloween) and Hemingson, with executive producers Chris Stinson, Tom Williams, Andrew Golov, and Thom Zadra. Kevin Tent (The
Descendants) serves as editor, Ryan Warren Smith (Wendy and Lucy, True
Detective) as production designer, costume designer is Wendy Chuck (About Schmidt, The Descendants), director of photography is Emmy Award winner Eigil Bryld (In Bruges) and the music is by Mark Orton (Nebraska).
