Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them—a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa)—and with the school's head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam (Da'Vine Joy Randolph). Review: Doesn't sound exciting but this collection of misfits are spellbinding. - Doesn't sound an exciting topic, but it is a very good film: well acted and full of humour and sadness. Review: Very enjoyable - It was a relief to be able to hear every word of the dialogue - that's the first thing. Then there were the performances - all three main actors were excellent, and I'd single out Dominic Sessa, who is fabulous in this, although Paul Giamatti was, as ever, completely brilliant. I try not to go in for actor-worship, but I do have a kind of Mount Olympus of actors and Giamatti's up there with the late-greats Philip Seymour Hoffman and James Gandolfini, plus the thankfully-still-with-us Viola Davis, Jean Smart, Kate Winslet, Tom Courtenay... you might see where I'm going with this...they're all actors who have the gift of letting you in, although of course this is entirely subjective. (But they do.) Da'Vine Joy Randolph's performance as Mary was really lovely, and actually the character whom I found most affecting. In fact, I think Mary had potential for a whole story of her own. There was a lot to like about this character and for my money it could have been a touch more fleshed out in the script. Luckily this actor gave it plenty of emotional welly. Yes it's a told in an old fashioned way, but I liked that; it makes a change from being battered over the head by CGI, histrionic acting, witless stories, not to mention dialogue you can't hear - possibly the worst development in cinema since...I dunno, but it's immensely disengaging. I found, wonder of wonders, that I could breathe while watching this film, and I was happily engaged for the duration. A sweet, gentle, heartwarming picture with integrity and very funny and genuinely moving moments. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CLQR5LYY | | Actors | Carrie Preston, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Dominic Sessa, Michael Provost, Paul Giamatti | | Aspect Ratio | Unknown | | Best Sellers Rank | 75,496 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 12,855 in Comedy (DVD & Blu-ray) 21,238 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) 24,320 in Blu-ray | | Country of origin | USA | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (2,107) | | Director | Alexander Payne | | Dubbed: | French, Spanish | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 3.0), Spanish (Dolby Digital 3.0) | | Manufacturer reference | 0191329241967 | | Media Format | Blu-ray, PAL | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 1.6 x 19.23 x 13.06 cm; 80 g | | Run time | 2 hours and 13 minutes | | Studio | Studio Distribution Services | | Subtitles: | English, French, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Format:** Blu-ray, PAL - **Genre:** Comedy, Drama, Independent - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 13 minutes ## Images ![The Holdovers (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dC5n14O4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Doesn't sound exciting but this collection of misfits are spellbinding. *by A***R on 8 January 2026* Doesn't sound an exciting topic, but it is a very good film: well acted and full of humour and sadness. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very enjoyable *by D***H on 28 April 2024* It was a relief to be able to hear every word of the dialogue - that's the first thing.

It has a similar setting, and some similar themes. In a way, it's like a cross of that with The Breakfast Club. Somehow the filmmakers managed to give it an old feel, visually, and yet make the content and acting modern. It's a slow-burner that's great to watch on a quiet evening. Plot wise, it's about a teacher and student to have to stay at the boarding school together over the holidays as the student has nowhere to go, plus the weather snows them in. What follows is a cool mix of their difficult, almost cabin fever interactions. And over time, they both argue and bond. In a world of CGI and action, this stands out for having none. Characters can do that, and the two main ones are the stars, including how they're acted. Well worth a watch if you simply like great films, stories about things you think you wouldn't be interested in (I wasn't), but that draw you in. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Holdovers - Collector's Edition Blu-ray + DVD + Digital - The Iron Claw Bluray + DVD + Digital - Past Lives [Blu-ray] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/595971913-the-holdovers-blu-ray-dvd-digital](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/595971913-the-holdovers-blu-ray-dvd-digital) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
