If you loved The Holdovers, try Sideways
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Alexander Payne, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Holdovers, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Sideways is
Santa Barbara wine country, harvest season, a wine-stained map. Two friends drive, one a failing writer, the other a reluctant groom. Payne sketches middle age with a subtle touch.
