Timberlake's performance is a little stiff at the beginning, then he is convincing as he transcends in his role as a protective father, you can feel his chemistry with the young Ryder, who steals all the looks for his confidence and spontaneity as well as Juno has few scenes but is very convincing in his role.

The movie keeps the pace, there is a scene that impacted me when Sam decides to go to school dressed as a Princess, he is 7 years old but he is a boy who knows what he wants, even though Palmer tells him that the world can hurt him, he breaks his ideas of gender that were instilled since he was a child and supports Sam to be happy.

What I didn't like: Palmer's story is not told in full and I would like to know more about Juno.

La actuación de Timberlake es un poco rígida al comienzo, luego es convincente a medida que transciende en su rol de padre protector, se siente su química con el niño Ryder , quien se roba todas las miradas por su seguridad y espontaneidad al igual que Juno tiene pocas escenas pero es muy convincente en su rol.

La película mantiene el ritmo, hay una escena que me impacto cuando Sam decide ir a la escuela vestido de Princesa, tiene 7 años pero es un niño que sabe lo que quiere, a pesar que Palmer le dice que el mundo puede lastimarlo, rompe sus ideas de género que fueron inculcadas desde pequeño y apoya a Sam para que sea feliz.

Lo que no me gusto: No se cuenta la historia de Palmer completa y quisiera saber más sobre Juno.


Palmer is a touching drama about a man who seeks redemption and thanks to Sam gets the meaning of his life.

Have you seen Palmer? What did you think?

Palmer es un drama conmovedor sobre un hombre que busca su redención y gracias a Sam consigue el sentido de su vida. Has visto Palmer? Que te pareció?
