The Holdovers Thread

Well, this movie was a somewhat unexpected delight. It deserves to become a Christmas classic.

I finally saw it today. I knew I would love it after seeing the trailer but it was even better than I expected. Very funny, very warm. Probably my favorite film of the year.

I'm going to see it tomorrow. I never go to the movies anymore but I have a free pass.

Very enjoyable film. Loved the filters and scene transitions! You’d never guess it wasn’t released the same year as Dead Poets Society. I feel like it would be a great double-feature with Wonder Boys.

It's a friend of mine's favorite movie so far this year.

You can tell from the tedious trailer exactly what is going to happen, the two leads are hideous and so is the murky photography. I know the reviews are universally positive, but you couldn’t drag me. I wouldn’t even bother to watch it on TV.

^Great. I loved it.

Enjoyable movie that unlike the endless Killers of the Flower Moon and the overrated Oppenheimer I would actually consider watching again. The New York Film Critics Circle named Da'Vine Joy Rudolph Best Supporting Actress. It's a sleeper and I suspect it will receive several Oscar nod s including Best Picture. I'm a fan of director Alexander Payne's other films: Election, Citizen Ruth, About Schmidt and Sideways.

It had good pacing and Paul G. is adorable.

Sappy, but OK. Deserves a Hallmark channel debut. If this is Oscar-worthy, it just goes to show you pedestrian movies have become.

Sorry -- how pedestrian.

CODA winning Best Picture opened the floodgates for these pedestrian Hallmark movies winning awards, unfortunately.

have you forgotten about Forrest Gump, A Beautiful Mind, Kramer vs Kramer, Rain Man, Titanic, Midnight Cowboy, Crash, The Shape of Water . . .

R12 Yes, because Forrest Gump and Driving Miss Daisy were both such highbrow cinema.
