The Holdovers (on Amazon Prime) is one of the better films I've seen in the last 5 years or so. It's not earth-shattering but it's just a extremely well thought out story that's really well edited.
If interested, read up on how they filmed it visually. They basically shot it digital but wanted it to look like film that was used from the 70's. Lots of work needed to produce that look. It's kind of insane.
Paul Giamatti gets a lot of the best actor buzz (deserved) but the real MVP for me was Da'Vine Joy Randolph.
I'm glad movies like this are still being made.
