Movie #2119 ........................."Palmer" (apple)

 Movie #2119 "Palmer"  (apple) - the only thing I would add to the below description of the plot is that the boy the ex-convict befriends loves princesses and wears dresses --- that's the plot part that was most interesting to me because it causes  a lot of inner conflict on the main character's part.  He knows how rough the world will be on this kid --- the acting is adequate, except a quick shout out to Juno Temple (Ted Lasso) who is a marvel in all of her scenes (there aren't that many).  But JT is able to hold his own, and I really enjoyed this film.  Really liked the story ---- it has an easy about it.  I wasn't near as impressed with this little boy as the ones in "Life Ahead" or "Minari" but he does do okay --- doesn't steal any scenes from anyone else, for sure.  I'd give this a 4 out of 5 and recommend it.


"PALMER"     2021            R           1 hour and 50 minutes

An ex-convict strikes up a friendship with a boy from a troubled home.

Director:
