Ben Turner The Pink Lens A warm film with a lot of heart, Peridot is an entertaining but safe film that doesn’t quite find the truth within its ambitious subject matter. But it’s very pretty to look at! Rated: 3/5 Jan 3, 2023 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall The film is uneven, with some clunky plotting, dodgy technical issues and awkward performances. It's also strangely underpowered, circling around an idea that never quite comes into focus. Still, there's plenty of scruffy charm. Rated: 3/5 Dec 15, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

MIGUEL ANGEL Y A very intense film, which shows the harsh reality of life in Los Angeles and the wonderful friendship between Gabriel and Martha. I loved it to the point of crying like Gabriel did, for the departure of his unconditional friend Martha. Best regards, Miguel Angel Yopolo. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Keith S This is a beautiful film that artfully explores love and loss....love found in the most unlikely of places. In merely an hour you are taken on a journey from gritty streets, sketchy situations...to the protagonist Gabriel dressed as Santa...a celebration on the beach...to an exploration of significant friendships. The magnitude of the final scene--in which Martha encourages and empowers Gabriel to write his story, is amplified by the reality that actor Harry Hains, like his character, tragically died of a drug overdose. Shayne Pax is gifted, young, and I look forward to see what he does next. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
