Faith & Film: The Holdovers
Faith & Film: The Holdovers
December 7, 2024 5:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Join the screening and discussion of this award-winning film. We will order Pizza - you can bring something to share (wine, beer, soft drinks welcome)!
If you cannot join us in person for the screening (please watch the film @ home on Amazon Prime) join us online for the discussion at 7:15 pm.
Film Summary: A curmudgeonly instructor at a New England prep school remains on campus during Christmas break to babysit a handful of students with nowhere to go. He soon forms an unlikely bond with a brainy but damaged troublemaker, and with the school's head cook, a woman who just lost a son in the Vietnam War. These three very different shipwrecked people form an unlikely Christmas family sharing comic misadventures during two very snowy weeks in New England. The real journey is how they help one another understand that they are not beholden to their past-they can choose their own futures. 97% Tomatometer - Watch the Trailer
Reviews:
- THE HOLDOVERS IS the perfect Christmas movie if you don't always spend the holidays conventionally. The film not only took home two Golden Globe awards for being one of the best films of 2023, but also took home an Academy Award for Da'Vine Joy Randolph's sterling Best Supporting Actress performance in the movie.
- In a time when things often seem so hopeless, when the same forces of inequality and military injustices plague our own world, perhaps it’s this film’s realistic salve that makes it resonate so strongly.
- Despite the anxiety and even sadness its story exudes, it’s a movie so in love with its characters, and so steadfast in its humanist convictions, that it reaches into your soul and melts even the most frozen of hearts.
