January 28, 2021 Share There’s a kitchen-sink full of Serious Drama Cliches in the new Justin Timberlake film “Palmer,” about a high school football star turned convict who must help the young gender fluid boy with the addict mom next door while also trying to regain his footing in his small Louisiana hometown. It’d be an insult to real Oscar-bait to even call this Oscar-bait. And yet, compelling performances make “Palmer” watchable and fairly affecting despite the fact that we’ve seen this kind of thing so many times before. Timberlake plays Eddie Palmer, who has just been released from prison after 12 years and is going to live with his grandmother Vivian (June Squibb) in his old hometown. He’s got the ex-con beard and hoodie and thousand-yard squint and is a bit of a mystery, although that might be giving him a little too much credit.

He’s on his way home to the little town in Louisiana where he was raised by his grandma Vivian (June Squibb), and where all the ....
CST Apple Original Films presents a film directed by Fisher Stevens and written by Cheryl Guerriero. Rated R (for language, some sexual content/nudity and brief violence). Running time: 110 minutes. Available Friday on AppleTV+. This is one of those heart-tuggers where it’s pretty obvious from the get-go that everything will eventually work out for the best in tidy fashion. We know we’re being manipulated from time to time, but the messaging is so earnest and the performances are so heartfelt, we’re willing to go with it. Call it a Comfort Movie. With the Louisiana location shoots adding authenticity to this relatively simple tale, Timberlake plays Eddie Palmer, a onetime high school football star who was headed to LSU on a full scholarship when he threw it all away in a violent confrontation one night and wound up serving a lengthy prison sentence. Now Palmer is coming home, to the small town of Sylvain, Louisiana, where everybody knows him and hardly ....
