Perfectly innocent. It’s familiar, but not manipulative or pandering like a Hillbilly Elegy. Timberlake is solid. Worth your time if you have Apple TV+, but otherwise you’ll never know you missed it.

Interesting drama premise with issues. I loved the story, setting and characters. The casting was excellent (apart from the lead imo).

The casting was excellent (apart from the lead imo). Firstly JT feels like a mis cast - great performance but for me just too recognizable a face to get truly immersed. Background music playing constantly really detracts from any of the character building scenes to form a connection with me. Also the editing is so quick to cut from scene to scene without ever spending time allowing the audience to experience some of the heavier moments with the characters. Overall what should have been exceptional came across as quite average. Worth a watch.… Expand

Watched "Palmer" on Apple TV (they extended my free trial until July!).

As most of the critics haveWatched "Palmer" on Apple TV (they extended my free trial until July!). "Palmer" stars Justin Timberlake as a recently paroled convict who returns home and ends up taking care of a child from a broken home. As most of the critics have said, this movie covers familiar territory. That is, a troubled man gets a new look on life when taking care of someone weaker than himself. The story and script are pedestrian but I am still rating this as "6" (somewhat above average) on the strength of Justin Timberlake's performance which is very good as well as the 2 main supporting players (Ryder Allen as Sam and Alisha Wainwright as Maggie). The movie is watchable if you have Apple TV already but I wouldn't sign up for Apple TV just for this movie.… Expand

Justin Timberlake was decent enough but if you're like me, you've seen this story countless times before. Yesterday I was talking about HBO Max doing its share of forgettable fillers. Well now it was the turn for Apple.

Wanting to tackle too many topics at once, it loses depth, is confused and leaves you confused, moves you while you already forget it. An exemplary case of why the motto "less is more" is valid.
