the atomic bomb, a revisionist doll and CGI Harrison Ford have gobbled up our attention, for better or worse, but not because any of those varied titles have much heart.Then there’s the “The Holdovers,” directed by Alexander Payne, which is set during frigid Christmastime at a Northeast boarding school that’s nearly empty of students. The lovable dramedy, which just screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, is blanketed in snow and ice — and it’s the warmest cinematic experience you’ll have all year. Running time: 133 minutes.

It’s also the latest member of a genre I never get tired of: coming-of-age movies that take place during the 1960s and ‘70s. Nothing enlivens a film like not being bogged down by cellphones, helicopter parents or political correctness. In recent years, we have been gifted splendid ones including Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Licorice Pizza” and Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans.” “The Holdovers” joins their angsty ranks.However, this is not another teen movie.
With a screenplay by David Hemingson, Payne’s film is as much about two hurting adults as it is about an intelligent, rebellious student named Angus Tully (Dominic Sessa).It’s Christmas break at the Barton school, and the boys are returning home to their families. All of them, that is, except the holdovers — the six poor souls whose parents didn’t want them back for the holidays for whatever reason. The retro building they inhabit has the washed-out look of a grandparent’s basement.Reluctantly chosen to watch over the misfits is Paul Hunham (Paul Giamatti), a crotchety history professor who’s on the rocks for failing the son of a major donor.

Lily Allen has told a theatre critic to “get in the bin” over their comments about her West End show The Pillowman.The play, which recently came to the end of its run at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London, saw Allen play Katurian, a writer who is questioned by the authorities about a spate of murders that bear similarities to her short stories.Written by The Banshees of Inisherin director Martin McDonagh, The Pillowman also starred Steve Pemberton and Paul Kaye.Following a string of mixed reviews for the show, Allen has found herself involved in an online spat with theatre critic Mark Shenton.It all started when Shenton took exception to a positive review quote from All That Dazzles, which read: “Undoubtedly one of the best plays of the year.”In a blog post, Shenton branded the review “utterly meaningless” as it came from a “blog that calls just about every show they see as ‘potentially’ or ‘undoubtedly’ one of the best of the year”.Shenton then took aim at the The Pillowman director Matthew Dunster on X (formerly Twitter), stating that he was “relieved” that he missed the show.In response, Allen fired back: “This is such a bizarre stance for a so called theatre enthusiast. 60000 people bought tickets to come and see this show and I’d say 90% of them were up on their feet at the curtain.“It’s insane that a quote on a poster is what stopped you from coming to see something that you profess to care so much about.
