The Holdovers

An illustrated poster shows three characters — a grumpy-looking older man in a sweater vest, a bandaged student with curly hair, and a stern woman holding folded laundry — standing solemnly over a shattered Christmas tree ornament. The broken red glass hints at both holiday chaos and emotional upheaval. The tagline reads “Discomfort And Joy.”
