Trending Position
Petrice Jones plays this rather well as an 18 year old Trinidadian that befriends a wealthy local man who becomes infatuated with him. The storyline takes it's time and to be honest, it doesn't really go anywhere before an ending that really rather lets it all down a bit. The potential to get to the ... bottom of the relationship between the two men - which is, to a certain extent, reciprocal - is underdeveloped, but there is an integrity about Jones' performance that helps carry the production which must have been done on a shoestring budget. It also manages to show us some of the beauty of the islands and of the people. There is potential from this for both the actor and director Maria Govan - it's a good start.
