Oh, look: a review by Paul Turner!
THE HOLDOVERS
There was a time when men were men and movies were movies. Back when film flew through projectors at 24 frames per second, 90 feet a minute, made authentic with scratches and dust specs and jumping frames. Sound ground through antique paper speaker cones with the fidelity of the AM radio in grampa's Rambler. Back when films had to rely on their own story, not hatched from a franchise. We had to learn who the players were after the movie started. Not from last year's knockoff. Dialogue carried the tune; women knew everything and took no shit. The warmth came from the soul of the character and how that creature sucked us into caring about them, almost letting us down, then saving the day at the last minute. We fell into the story and wore their sweaters and drank their hooch. We met the new kid, who could keep up with the old guy.
The first thing ya gotta do is get Paul Giamatti to sign on. Then shoot the thing in real, old-timey film. So we have grain like sandpaper and colours harmonizing the way they did before digital made everything look like impossible realism, to justify the 8K TVs. Ya gotta make the story sweet. Maybe a little too sweet. Racy enough to make the teenagers giggle but family enough that three generations can watch it at the same time. Welcome to THE HOLDOVERS.
It's the holidays at a New England prep school back in the days between tailfins and gas wars. The holdovers are the kids without a place to go, watching their classmates getting whisked away to family for the break. Through chaos and design, the most burned-out, alcoholic, pissed-off teacher, Paul Hunham (Giamatti), is the one who must watch over the holdovers. The story takes off when his charges are whittled down to one student. Angus (played by Dominic Sessa. Keep an eye on this kid. He's going places.) is the student.
The place has the feel of the set of The Shining, with long halls and dark wood. Like three BBs in a tin can, Paul, Angus, and Mary Lamb rattle around the building. Mary is the cook, also left behind in the cavernous school to feed Paul and Angus. Da'Vine Joy Randolph creates a character who leaves me hoping that if there is a god, she is a sassy black woman who has seen it all and can say more with a deadpan stare than a good ol’ boy preacher can with a Sunday sermon. Each of these characters have seen loss, and own their pain. It's theirs to keep or share in the ways that make us love them and hate them. But we come to understand them, not that we'd want to share an elevator with 'em.
Their worlds converge, but the divergence is with grace. It's where the heart of THE HOLDOVERS lives.
We're holding over THE HOLDOVERS. Come see it!
