The film reunited Payne and Giamatti for the first time since 'Sideways.'
The Big Picture At long last, Alexander Payne and Paul Giamatti are back together again. It's been nearly 20 years since they paired up for arguably Payne's best feature Sideways which had Giamatti playing writer and wine enthusiast Miles on a disastrous trip to wine country with Thomas Haden Church. Now, the Cinderella Man Academy Award nominee stars as a curmudgeonly prep school professor in Payne's throwback '70s dramedy The Holdovers in a role that was made for him.
As for where the actor stood throughout the creative process, Payne said he was totally on board as they were developing the film. "I told him early on," Payne said, recalling his conversation with his star. "I said, 'Just so you know, we’re conceiving something for you.' 'Great, great, great. What is it?' And I told him the basic premise. 'Great.' I showed him an early draft. He still liked it.
At TIFF, Payne's latest earned high marks from critics in its debut, including Collider's Ross Bonaime who gave the film an A- and hailed it as one of the director's best:
