Summary: Inspired by the troubled but ultimately triumphant life of classical pianist David Helfgott, Shine focuses on Helfgott's painful retreat into a private world while still in his early 20's and on the brink of a glittering international career. Spanning the 1950's to the 1980's, Shine dramatizes the deeply moving way in which Helfgott, after a decade of obscurity, achieves both personal and professional fulfillment through the love and support of a remarkable woman. (Fine Line Features)

It's just another very conventional "overcoming adversity" biopic, but Mueller-Stahl and Rush are just notable in this.

What a nice movie. Musically it was very entertaining, emotionally also. Though the end does not really provide some sort of an emotional closure, it came somewhat too fast. Nonetheless, good casting, good work by writers, actors :)

he didn't retreat, he threw himself forward, broke, and fell hard. and there were two women vital to his recovery, not one... (i'm criticizing the "summary" of course)

Not as life-affirming and uplifting as its makers seem to think it is, but it's a good film

A great music-movie about a wonderchild, comparable with the movie Amadeus but a complete other story and in a different time. For me great music and very good acting roles. Such movies I like too much, awesome !

It's a blessing that this movie is short. It stirs up a lot of passion for the classical music that plays a big part in this story but less passion for the characters. Geoffrey Rush is great and the actor who plays his character's father tells an interesting story. It's alright.

A bit maudlin at times, particularly at the start of the film, but two incredible acting performances from Noah Taylor and Geoffrey Rush make it a rewarding watch. As another reviewer says, the two parts of Helfgott's life do feel somewhat disconnected, but that's always going to be a problem in a biopic. You can't cram a whole life into 100 minutes without there being a few gaps. Ultimately it's a nice, heartwarming story about an inspirational person. The good music is a bonus.
