'Palmer': Film Review

hollywoodreporter.com:

Just a few months ago, Juno Temple helped give the fledgling Apple TV+ service its first must-see: Ted Lasso, a practically perfect comedy series that radiated decency and hope in a world that...well, you were there.

She’s very much on the other side of the coin in her reunion with the streaming service, playing a drug-addicted single mom so neglectful that abandoning her kid to the care of a just-released felon is actually a step in the right direction.

That ex-con is the eponymous hero of Fisher Stevens’ Palmer, and as played by Justin Timberlake, he’s nearly compelling enough to make you ignore how many times protecting a child has redeemed troubled or grouchy grown-ups on screen.
