With references to 1970s films by Hal Ashby and others, Alexander Payne's The Holdovers gave us a heartwarming look at an iconic movie era.
The Big Picture Beginning its wide theatrical release on November 10, The Holdovers serves as a major comeback for American filmmaker Alexander Payne, best known for works including Sideways, The Descendants, and most recently, the lukewarmly received Downsizing from 2017.
What Is 'The Holdovers' About? Beginning in late December 1970, The Holdovers takes place at Barton Academy, a distinguished and exclusive all-boys school on the outskirts of Boston. Just before the holiday break, Mr. Paul Hunham learns that he has been given the duty of watching the "holdover" students –– the ones staying at Barton over vacation –– much to his cantankerous dismay.
In his late teens, Angus grew up in the disillusioned America that created the movement, from the devastating effects of the Vietnam War to the Civil Rights Movement and political flux of the Post-War decades. This instability has a clear impact on Angus's outlook on the world and that of his classmates, most of whom seem eager to throw off the shackles of privilege and tradition to adopt the progressive thinking of many young people during the 1970s.
