First Friday Film: The Holdovers

From acclaimed director Alexander Payne, this Oscar-nominated film follows a curmudgeonly instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a New England prep school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them—a damaged, brainy troublemaker and with the school's head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam.
