The Holdovers ...is not a comedy, more a Bittersweet drama...set in a New England college during the Xmas break in 1970-71... We fet to know and like our 3 mains characters ...each having stop liking life, like people, going threw the motion of interacting with others their deception, their hidden pain preventing them from moving forward...this typical film of redemption ...we get to like them, feel sorry for their pain, and they find thanks to there interaction their redemption...the college used for the filming is gorgeous. The acting is good by the main characters...
L'expression américaine : Bittersweet, ici décrit beaucoup mieux le genre de ce film que j'ai aimé même de qui m'en reste est plus amère que doux
