The Holdovers
In Payne’s new film
The Holdovers, it’s the wintry final days of 1970, and the boys of Barton Academy, a stony old New England prep school, are planning to head home—or to some fabulous vacation destination. All save for a few students, who have been temporarily orphaned by circumstance. A grumpy ancient history teacher, Mr. Hunham (
Paul Giamatti), has been tasked with watching the handful of boys who have to stay at school through New Year’s, a dreaded assignment doled out as punishment for the sin of giving a legacy student a failing grade.
A great movie
