The Holdovers (15)

We really enjoyed this film. It was a film full of contrasts - the moody and problematic teenager, grumpy teacher and cook with her own tragic story, but a great mix of characters with a feelgood ending.

Such good BAFTA rating was born out by a great film. However audience opinions varied very widely! 9

We enjoyed it, but thought it was half an hour too long. Could have made the point much more succinctly. Excellent acting throughout. Reminded me of Dead Poets Society and Scent of a Woman. We enjoyed the film very much. Seemed to be received generally very well - lots of positive comments heard on leaving. The acting and script were top notch.

Excellent choice of film was the view of all who came.

Highly enjoyable, a lovely film

It was a great Gala film. Our audience really enjoyed it.

Really lovely film, very well received by everyone. Its long, but the 2 hours flew by.

The Holdovers was very well received by the audience, very funny and heartwarming.

Beautiful film with an outstanding performance from Paul Giamatti.

Some found it too cliched, but the majority of the audience really enjoyed it. Heartwarming, well acted.

The audience really enjoyed it ! A gentle very well acted unsentimental theme which dealt with themes of coming of age tolerance and how human beings can bond in the unlikely situations.

On those rare occasions when the story music and and actors come together in a journey which take the audience in a very special direction, very highly recommended

Our audience were unsure before screening but we had fulsome praise afterwards. Funny, moving, subtle.

A good film to show at Christmastime. Most people enjoyed it but not all. Some of the American dialogue was difficult to hear.

A little overlong but our audience enjoyed the film and it was a good option to show at Christmas.

All enjoyed it - from audience comments the second half was more enjoyable.

‘Really enjoyable’. ‘Loved it’ It just went fine really well as our first autumn film :)
