Palms

About This Movie

So, 'Palms' is this gentle family film that delves into the world of foster care, featuring a kid who's just looking for that elusive forever family. The tone feels warm, yet there’s an underlying melancholy that really hits home. It doesn’t rush through the emotional beats, allowing viewers to soak in the moments of longing and hope. The performances, though not from big names, have a kind of raw sincerity that pulls you in. You can really feel the weight of the kid's journey, like you're right there with him. It’s not flashy or laden with special effects; it’s all about the story and the simplicity of human connection. There’s something distinct about its pacing too; it lingers just long enough to make you think.
