Alexander Payne’s latest film, ‘The Holdovers,’ offers a character-driven narrative and themes of redemption and friendship, but falls short of greatness with slow pacing and predictable bonding moments.

While it showcases Payne’s knack for character-driven narratives, the slow pacing and predictability may test the patience of some viewers.
Despite commendable performances and clever use of its 1970s setting, ‘The Holdovers’ fails to match the emotional impact and depth of similar teacher-student bonding movies like ‘Wonder Boys.’
Ultimately, ‘The Holdovers’ remains an enjoyable but forgettable addition to Payne’s filmography.
