As an adult sometimes we can complicate our lives to the point where we get lost in a fog. Sometimes, it takes the innocence and basic thought process of a child to bring us back to life. This January, Apple TV+ will release a new feature film titled, Palmer. It stars Justin Timberlake and Ryder Allen in a heart-pulling tale that will be released this January on their streaming service. This week they have released a new official trailer for the film. You can check it out below!
Here is the synopsis for Apple TV+’s Palmer
Former high-school football star Eddie Palmer (Justin Timberlake) went from hometown hero to convicted felon, earning himself twelve years in a state penitentiary. He returns home to Louisiana, where he moves back in with Vivian (June Squibb), the grandmother who raised him. While trying to keep his head down and rebuild a quiet life for himself, Palmer is haunted by memories of his glory days and the suspicious eyes of his small town community. Things become more complicated when Vivian’s hard-living neighbor Shelly (Juno Temple) disappears on a prolonged bender, leaving her precocious and unique 7-year-old son Sam (Ryder Allen), often the target of bullying, in Palmer’s reluctant care.
In time, Palmer is drawn into a more hopeful world as he forges a connection with Sam through their shared experience of being made to feel different by those around them. Life improves for Palmer, and a romance develops between him and Sam’s teacher Maggie (Alisha Wainwright). An inspiring and unexpected journey unfolds for the three of them, but soon Palmer’s past threatens to tear apart this new life.

Executive producers for the film are Mark O’Connor, Bruce Toll, Paris Kassidokostas-Latsis, Terry Douglas, Jean-Luc De Fanti, Jared Ian Goldman, and Guerriero.
As we can see by the trailer, we should get ready for a very emotional film. I do have one critic for the trailer. I felt like they told us a little too much about the story and how it progresses. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Apple TV+ has done a fantastic job at giving us quality series and films.
