Movie 1: The Holdovers
Holdovers is a term used at high end New England prep schools for students who don’t go home for Christmas Holidays. Paul Giamatti plays the teacher who was picked to “babysit” the group. This is a very well done and satisfying drama. Good acting all around. In theatres now but soon on Peacock.

Movie 2: Killers of the Flower Moon
Set in the 1920s in Oklahoma as the Osage Native American tribe becomes wealthy with the discovery of oil on their land. Based on true events this Martin Scorsese written and directed crime drama is a masterpiece in every way. This is a three and half hour epic that is an unsettling, romantic western crime whodunit. There will undoubtedly be numerous Oscar nominations. Only in theatres.

Movie 3: Maestro
This is an immense and powerful drama about the love story between Leonard Bernstein and his wife Felicia Cohn Bernstein. A hugely complicated and talented man, Bernstein is portrayed by a magnificent performance by Bradley Cooper. Equally Oscar worthy is the performance of Carey Mulligan as his wife. This could be Cooper’s year to finally win an Academy Award. In theatres now and on Netflix 20 December. Don’t miss this one.
