Prisoners of the Ghostland Review (Sundance Film Festival 2021)

THE LITTLE THINGS: Academy Award winners Denzel Washington (Training Day, Glory), Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody) and Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club) star in the psychological thriller “The Little Things.” John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side, Saving Mr. Banks, The Founder) directed the film from his own original screenplay. Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe “Deke” Deacon (Washington) is sent to Los Angeles for what should have been a quick evidence-gathering assignment. Instead, he becomes embroiled in the search for a killer who is terrorizing the city. Leading the hunt, L.A. Sheriff Department Sergeant Jim Baxter (Malek), impressed with Deke’s cop instincts, unofficially engages his help. But as they track the killer, Baxter is unaware that the investigation is dredging up echoes of Deke’s past, uncovering disturbing secrets that could threaten more than his case.

Palmer: Former high school football star Eddie Palmer (Justin Timberlake) went from hometown hero to convicted felon, earning himself 12 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.

Okay so I opened up Netflix and was so stoked to see a movie available that I had been told was fantastic but was only available in theatres in the US. I got about thirty minutes into Pieces of a Woman when I realized it wasn’t Promising Young Woman! I’m sure I wasn’t the only one to make this mistake which brings me to my question. With releases of similar films so close together have you ever started watching a movie only to realize it wasn’t the movie you intended on watching? Friends with Benefits and No Strings Attached or The Illusionist and The Prestige come to mind for me! Anyways love all the great content from you lovely gentlemen. Happy New Year!
