KEIGHLEY Film Club is promising a festive treat with its latest screening at the town's Picture House.

The club is showing The Holdovers at the North Street cinema on Sunday, December 15.

Doors open at 5.30pm, and the film starts at 6pm.

Club spokesperson Alan Watkinson says: "This film will really get you in the festive mood.

"Staff in a private prep college are obliged to care for homeless students during a Christmas break.

"The students' lives will be influenced by a bad-tempered professor, Paul Hunham, played by Paul Giamatti.

"He has to babysit the homeless students, with hilarious results.

"Paul is supported by a brainy but damaged troublemaker, Angus Tully (Dominic Sessa), and head cook Mary Lamb – played by Da'Vine Joy Randolph – who has just lost a son in the Vietnam War.

"Director Alexander Payne has created a tear-jerking, tender story, and a powerful drama.

"And music of the 1970s reinforces a compelling soundtrack."

The Holdovers saw Da'Vine Joy Randolph win an Oscar for best performance by an actress in a supporting role.

Review website Rotten Tomatoes gave the film, which has a 15 certificate and runs for two hours 13 minutes, a 97 per cent rating.
