This is an absolutely beautiful film. Ok so by now you know my scale, this movie had 3 10’s. Acting, Feels and Overall Enjoyment. 10’s without question on those. 9 for story telling as well. So this is just one of those movies where it was somewhat hindered by a lack of visuals, not very thought provoking and not insanely INTERESTING by my standards. Interesting I think of as did I learn stuff in the film. They were not zeros but they were not high scores. So with that being said, this is absolutely an EXCELLENT FUCKING FILM.
A teacher at a all boys boarding school for rich kids is tasked with staying over the 2 weeks winter holiday with “the holdovers” who are a group of kids who do not have a place to go home for the holidays. It is 5 kids. 4 of them actually luck out and get to go on a ski trip, leaving 1 with the teacher and the cook. All 3 very different people going through really tough times inside. It is a beautiful story, that is deeply heart felt and extremely touching. All dialogue for the most part and beautifully written. You will love this movie and it will win a ton of awards.
It also has a top 5, put me in tears movie scene. UP there with that Interstellar scene and Adu. This was tears of beauty. Paul G will win a bunch of awards for his performance I imagine. That is a review.
