Review of Shine (1996) by Martin S — 03 Dec 2007
The first half of the film is a really heartbreaking story of a young man with a great natural gift and a genuine love of music defeated by both mental illness and the damage inflicted by his bloodsucking father; the second half is funny and life-affirming.
Geoffrey Rush's performance is extraordinary.
