   Was 'the Holdovers' filmed digitally?

   • Despite being digitally shot, 'The Holdovers' is given artificial grain and even faux scratches to make it look as if it were both shot and released on film. The movie returns to a way of telling a story that reflects what, to Payne, comes off as a simpler, clearer, perhaps more humane time.
