Palmer
Palmer can be somewhat predictable, but this cast gives it something more that makes it worth watching and makes the viewer wish it was longer.

Saint Maud
While Saint Maud is categorized as a horror/thriller, I found it to be more a drama about a delusional and mentally ill woman who turns to religion as a way to cope.

The plot and Ric Roman Waugh’s direction are what seemingly make the movie better than it might be otherwise.
