IT’S NOT UNTIL WE EXHALED THAT WE REALIZED THAT ALL THE FEELGS WERE READY TO POUR OUT, THE GOOD ON, BAD ON, AND ALL THE ON BETWEEN. IT’S A LOT OF FEELG TO DO! IT’S EXHSTG, BUT ALSO TOXITG.AND RIDG ON THAT BUZZ IS THE NEW JT TIMBERLAKE-STARRG DRAMA PALMER, AND S THEM OF TOLERANCE, REMPTN, EMPATHY, AND THE CELEBRATN OF OTHERNS.IT IS CEMATIC FORT FOOD AT A RARE AND OVERDUE BANQUET TIME FOR EARNTNS, GOODNS, AND REMRS THAT LTLE SPARKS OF HUMANY STILL EXIST. PALMER IS, AS FAR AS THE THGS GO THE WORLD OF ART AND CEMA, GEILLY ENGEERED TO FORCE YOU TO—ER, I MEAN LET YOU—FEEL THGS. IN THE FILM, OUT FRIDAY ON APPLE TV+, TIMBERLAKE PLAYS AN EX-N NAMED EDDIE PALMER, WHO AFTER SERVG 12 YEARS FOR A FELONY, RETURNS TO HIS HOMETOWN THE RAL SOUTH TO LIVE WH HIS GRANDMOTHER, VIVIAN (JUNE SQUIBB, INIC AS ALWAYS), WHO RAISED HIM. LIVG A TRAILER NEXT DOOR IS A NOTHG-BUT-TROUBLE SGLE MOM (JUNO TEMPLE) AND HER 7-YEAR-OLD SON, SAM (NEWER RYR ALLEN). PALMER GAZ OUT THE WDOW AT THEM, WATCHG THE MOTHER AND SON PLAY WH DOLLS TOGETHER, AND RAIS AN EYEBROW. PALMER IS SURPRISED ONE MORNG TO FD SAM THE HOE. HIS MOTHER TOOK OFF—NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME—AND, AS SHE’S DONE BEFORE, VIVIAN TAK HIM . THEY EAT MEALS TOGETHER, AND GO TO CHURCH TOGETHER. VIVIAN LETS SAM DO HER HAIR AND PLAY WH HER MAKP. SAM IS REMARKABLY UNSELF-NSC ABOUT HIS BEHAVR, EVEN AROUND PALMER. “YOU KNOW YOU’RE A BOY, RIGHT? BOYS DON’T PLAY WH DOLLS,” PALMER SAYS. “WELL I’M A BOY, AND I DO,” SAM SHGS REPLY.WHEN VIVIAN TRAGILLY DI HER SLEEP ONE NIGHT, ’S LEFT TO PALMER TO RE FOR SAM. YOU WOULD THK THE TWO WOULD IMMEDIATELY CLASH. BUT PALMER SE THE WAYS WHICH THE MUNY, BOTH KIDS AND ADULTS, BULLY SAM OVER HIS UNFLAPPABLE NFINCE HIMSELF TO PROUDLY WANT TO DRS LIKE A PRCS AND HAVE TEA PARTI WH THE GIRLS AT SCHOOL. PALMER BE AN UNFLCHG SUPPORTER AND FENR OF SAM, AND THE KD OF FATHER FIGURE THAT A BOY LIKE THAT SPERATELY NEEDS.FOLKS, YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE THIS: THEY SAVE EACH OTHER.THE BT THG ABOUT PALMER IS THAT YOU’VE SEEN BEFORE. IT’S BIG DADDY, BUT SER. IT’S ABOUT A BOY, BUT THE BOY IS GAY. I N’T SPEAK TO HOW GNIZANT THE FILMMAKERS, CLUDG DIRECTOR FISHER STEVENS AND SCREENWRER CHERYL GUERRIERO, WERE OF THIS FORMULA, BUT THE FILM IS ALL THE BETTER FOR NOT STRAYG OM , HTG EVERY FAIAR BEAT WH THE PRECISN OF THE STRGS PLUCKED THE ATIC-GUAR SRE THAT YOU N ALREADY HEAR JT BY MY SCRIBG THIS MOVIE.IT LOOSENS THE TAP ON ALL THOSE AFOREMENTNED, BOTTLED-UP EMOTNS AND LETS THEM SPRAY OUT WH ALL THE FORCE OF A FIREHOE: A LUGE OF THARTIC APPRECIATN FOR SAM’S STGGLE, PALMER’S SELFLSNS, AND THEIR FORTU FACG THE BUMPY ROAD AHEAD A CEL SOCIETY.

THAT LTLE BOY SAM DON’T SERVE A HARD LIFE JT BEE HE LIK GIRLY THGS AND LIV A TOWN FULL OF HOMOPHOB! IT’S A MOVIE THAT DOUBL AS A PAT ON THE BACK FOR S TARGET DIENCE, AND THERE LI THE SLIGHT PROBLEM.THE MSAGG IS IRREFUTABLE. TIMBERLAKE, TO HIS CRED, IS EXCELLENT, A TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO A PROMISG ACTG REER THAT HAD AT ONE POT APPEARED WOBBLY. ALLEN AS SAM IS A REVELATN. PALMER IS SO WATCHABLE YOU ALMOST DON’T NEED TO FULLY PAY ATTENTN AND YET YOU’D STILL REAP ALL THE EMOTNAL BENEFS. BUT ’S THIS THG WHERE I LEGIMATELY LOVED A MOVIE THAT I’M NOT SURE I’M GLAD EXISTS.IN ADDN TO THE “UNLIKELY PARENTAL FIGURE TO A LOST CHILD” OVRE, THERE’S ANOTHER, CREASGLY FAIAR GENRE THAT PALMER BELONGS TO: THE EMOTNALLY MANIPULATIVE OSR-BA WHICH A REFORMED HOMOPHOBE TRANSFORMS TO A GAY SAVR. IN OTHER WORDS, WELL-MEANG FILMS THAT DON’T SO MUCH TREAD, BUT ABE, THE FE LE BETWEEN HUMAN SIGHT AND EXPLOG QUEER PA.IT’S A PLITED TENSN TO DISCS, AND THERE ARE NO EASY ANSWERS ABOUT HOW TO TELL THE STORI, OR EVEN IF THEY ARE STORI THAT SHOULD BE TOLD.WHILE A FAR SUPERR FILM, THERE ARE NOT OF PALMER THAT ARE REMISCENT OF JOE BELL, THE MARK WAHLBERG DRAMA THAT PREMIERED AT THE TORONTO INTERNATNAL FILM FTIVAL THIS FALL, BUT WAS JT RECENTLY MOVED OFF THE RELEASE LENDAR TO A TBD DATE LATER THIS YEAR.
