Palmer

One of those typical heart-warming films about an unlikely friendship that brings together two people who on paper have nothing in common. In this particular case, it’s an ex-convict played by Justin Timberlake and a young kid with transsexual tendencies played by the newcomer Ryder Allen. Nice, but nothing special. (01/30/2021)

Growing up for rednecks, without DiCaprio, but with a fantastic performance by Timberlake, for whom "the older the better" applies like for some of his more famous colleagues. It's a bit saccharine in places, and it's not a tried-and-true older vintage, but thank goodness for any film like this, dealing with the intricacies of ordinary rural life. Still raw and focused enough to satisfy even the moderately demanding viewer who has seen a bit. (05/16/2021)

At the beginning, you think “maybe it won’t be just a clichéd story about Timberlake’s friendship with the little boy”, and in the end you’re glad that’s exactly what it was. Palmer is a little relationship movie with heart and an excellent Juno Temple in the supporting role of the endlessly high mother. (02/02/2021)
