A vintage-style cinematographic film, heartwarming, funny and refreshing. Highly recommended!

“Written by David Hemingson. Paul Giamatti stars as a curmudgeonly New England prep-school history teacher forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. He eventually forms an unlikely bond with one of them — a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa) and with the school’s head cook (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), who has just lost a son in Vietnam.”
