Feature Underground

The Holdovers Review | No Spoilers


Listen Later

The Holdovers, the latest movie from Alexander Payne, is the subject of this Feature Underground non- spoiler review.
A New England Scrooge of a schoolteacher is punished by being assigned to supervise boys with no home to go home to on Christmas break. One of the boys, to paraphrase Paul Simon, has brains but just don't use 'em. Social castaways from very different vessels, the two must survive the break together.
Hunter discusses the cozy tone, the organic storytelling that grows out of the characters, and the ways in which the movie is as much about going of age as it is coming of age.
