Geoffrey Rush is spectacular, a must see

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2002)

This was the first Geoffrey Rush movie that I have ever seen, and he was so good that this is a must see. Shine is one of the best movies of 96 and if you see this, chances are you will agree with me. Rush plays David Helfgott, a spectacular pianist whose bad relationship with his father drives him insane. He loves to play the piano and likes to display his talent to anyone around, and later is able to display his talent to lots more people. The story is good, and director Scott Hicks chose the perfect cast for this awesome movie. Rush won an Oscar for his performance and I thought he deserved it.
*** 1/2 out of ****
