THE HOLDOVERS flips back the pages of a calendar to present a timeless portrait of humanity. Driven by the deepest of emotions and iced with a wicked wit, Alexander Payne achieves the extraordinary - creating a world we have all lived in - with feelings we have all experienced. Paul Giamatti's hilariously humbug performance further etches his place in the pantheon and stellar turns from Da'Vine Joy Randolph and newcomer Dominic Sessa become family to our own in this seasonal treat as cozy as it is curmudgeonly.
