The synopsis for Palmer has my attention. Is it best to go in knowing very little?

Tadhg, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

Palmer is one I am weighing up. Would love to hear a different take too. The interesting picks are often the ones people split on.

Siobhan, a film-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

For anyone considering Palmer: The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.
