Palace (2018)
Meaningful Portrait of the Un-obvious Beauty and Suffering in the Midwest
15 March 2019 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
Palace is worth all 94 minutes of your time.
As an Indiana born-and-raised gal myself, I'm always defensive of how film and media portray my state and the Midwest in general. Not because I don't think there are many a thing contradictory and spiteful and bad here - but because that's most often where the story stops. How easy to deem a place 'bad' in order to justify your coastal-upbringing - or to maintain a sense of willful ignorance about the place you're from by condemning the place you aren't.
Palace is a tender, flagrantly Indiana look at three rural Midwesterners. It is full of love and empathy and encourages you to be, as well. Worth a watch, a share, and a hug of your fellow man.
