Shine review: Mature, intelligent and profoundly moving

A remarkable film.

David: This is the finest biography of a troubled artist since Jane Campion's An Angel at My Table: a mature, intelligent and profoundly moving human drama of genius, loss, and ultimate redemption. ★★★★★

Margaret: I love it, I think it's really an extraordinary achievement. [...] Geoffrey Rush appears on that screen and I start crying. I bawl my eyes out every time with this film. ★★★★½
