Director Alexander Payne reunites with Paul Giamatti for a 70s-set tale of a boarding school’s Christmas holiday left-behinds that’s as achingly sharp as it is funny. A cantankerous, unpopular teacher, a bright, abrasive student, and the school’s head cook and a recently bereaved mother, find themselves forced to spend the winter holiday together in an otherwise empty New England elite academy.
A Christmas movie, complete with an atmospheric dusting of snow and a selection of fussy a cappella school-choir carols, it’s about finding family where you least expect it. (Guardian)
