The Holdovers

During Christmas break at a New England prep school, a gruff instructor is left supervising students who cannot go home. As the campus empties, he forms an unexpected bond with a troubled, intelligent teenager and a grieving cook, bringing three lonely people closer together.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate character-driven holiday dramas, dry humor, and bittersweet warmth like About Schmidt; Not for you if you need fast pacing or a highly eventful plot.
