The Holdovers
im obsessed with how everyone talks in this. LISTEN YOU HORMONAL VULGARIAN. PENIS CANCER IN HUMAN FORM. this is the christmas version of little miss sunshine to me in the way that i’m not able to/refuse to see any flaws in it for how comforting it is. something that makes it even more intimate/close/warm to find some semblance of understanding, or feeling normal human emotions in the dogmatic philosophies of wealthy WASPy academics. i thought it was going to be some dead poets meets breakfast club lovechild from the first act but i much prefer the way it actually played out. no frills or gimmicks and simple plot gives it a huge expanse to explore/grow its characters. and of course the scope of the characters are infinitely enhanced by the casting and performance itself. i don’t remember the last time i was so emotionally involved! by a current release. definitely go watch it!!!
