Incredible performances from all the cast - especially Chris Haywood

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2017)

Much has been said about Geoffrey Rush's incredible performance as David Helfgott, which launched him in the Hollywood stratosphere, but special mention must go to Chris Haywood as Sam, the owner of the Moby's, the restaurant where David really shines big time with his Rachmaninov.
Noah Taylor as the adolescent David is a standout, and it's good to see him make it big in Hollywood. I must admit I sometimes get Noah mixed up with Ben Mendelsohn, a fellow Australian actor, and they do share some resemblance.
Good to see Lynn Redgrave as David's wife. Lynn was excellent in the TV series House Calls co-starring with Wayne Rogers.
