2023. Director: Alexander Payne. Runtime: 133min.

The perfect Twix'mas Movie

Alexander Payne – director of the much-loved wine-country road-trip film Sideways – has given us a new festive classic, perfect for the holidays. Paul Giametti plays a gruff history teacher at a New England boarding school who is forced to remain on campus over the Christmas break to mind the students with nowhere to go. Over the course of the holidays, the reluctant stragglers grow to care for each other, in this poignant but often laugh-out-loud story about loneliness, empathy and the beauty of human connection. Nominated for five Oscars and seven BAFTAs .

“Affecting without ever being treacly or sentimental and the performances are tremendous.” The Spectator

“The benefit of the Yuletide setting is that Payne has gifted us a film intended to be watched every year.” Little White Lies
