After collaborating on Sideways almost 20 years in the past, Alexander Payne and Paul Giamatti reunite for The Holdovers, Payne’s newest directorial effort.

Ultimately he kinds an unlikely bond with considered one of them—a broken, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa)—and with the college’s head cook dinner, who has simply misplaced a son in Vietnam (Da’Vine Pleasure Randolph).
