Peridot- A Rare Gem

"Peridot" popped up on my screen and it caught my eye. With its 63 minute running time, I thought to myself, why not. I was tired of series and longer than necessary movies. To my surprise, "Peridot" turned out to be a little gem. The movie about a street hustler who befriends a middle age matronly author, has been done before. Gabriel, is a pretty boy who lives on the streets and is predominantly a male hustler but he is approached at a bus stop by a matronly woman, who happens to be a renowned author and they strike up a platonic relationship. Gabriel, played by Shayne Pax is the star, writer, producer, musical coordinator and director of the film. The fact that this young man was able to pull this off is an amazing accomplishment. The movie is cliche, lacks much character development or background of the characters, but the central theme of loneliness and belonging shine through. Keep an eye on Shayne Pax to do bigger and better films in the future!
