Review of Shine

Shine (1996)
10/10
Geoffrey Rush - An Acting Legend!
26 May 2010
Geoffrey Rush's performance in the biopic 'Shine' is one of those Shining Cinematic moments that pack in happiness, un-seen talent and respect. Based on the life of pianist David Helfgott, who, suffered a mental breakdown and spent years in institutions comes to life with Rush's most urgent performance to date.

'Shine' as a film, is a notch above the ordinary. Some biopics are fascinating, but 'Shine' is fascinating and memorable only because of Geoffery Rush! Nonetheless, it's a well-made film.

I don't have much left to write about the film, and if I start writing about Rush.. then this review might not even end. Rush's performance will go down as one of those rare performances, that would haunt actors and wanna-be actors for a long, long time! Those 10 stars for Geoffery Rush only!
