Scott Hicksin tositapahtumiin pohjautuva elokuva Loisto on tarina australialaisesta pianistista David Helfgottista, joka on jo pienenä tunnisttu erityisen lahjakkaaksi muusikoksi, jonka mieli järkkyy suurten paineiden alla ja joka pikku hiljaa musiikin ja rakkauden avulla myös paranee. Davidin isä (Armin Mueller-Stahl) dominoi poikaansa ja vaatii tältä suurta menestystä. Puolalaisjuutalainen isä on elämässään kokenut kovia: hän selvisi itse holokaustista, mutta menetti suurimman osan perheestään. Australiaan päästyään hän asettaa hieman ristiriitaisesti perheen kaiken yläpuolelle: Hän vaatii pojaltaan suurta menestystä musiikin parissa, muttei päästä tätä lähtemään, kun pojalle tarjotaan opiskelupaikkaa Amerikasta. Vastoin isänsä tahtoa David myöhemmin kuitenkin matkaa ulkomaille opiskelemaan. Hän ystävystyy vanhan kirjailijattaren kanssa, joka rohkaisee ottamaan vastaan Lontoosta tarjotun stipendiaatin. Lontoossa pianisti on onnellinen jonkin aikaa kunnes lopulta romahtaa. (YLE)

A very compelling biographical drama based on top-notch performances, not only by Oscar-winning Geoffrey Rush, but also by the young Noah Taylor and the excellent Armin Mueller-Stahl. On the subject of "how to make a musical genius with a hard hand and what price it will exact", Shine is a bit of a precursor to the thriller Whiplash, though it approaches the material in a much more conventional and restrained way, which I don't see as a bad thing. There is really very little to fault. [KVIFF 2022]

A classic biopic about a strange genius, one would like to say after reading the content... But it's a mistake. Luckily! Shine is an unusual spectacle in several ways. I was mainly interested in the different non-Hollywood presentation of the story - the script didn't automatically make me feel sympathy for the main character, didn't make me hate David's father, didn't lead me to anything, didn't try to wring tears from me. On the contrary, it left everything to my discretion to make my own picture and keep watching. Very refreshing. The other unusual thing is Geoffrey Rush's performance. He appears in the film for some forty minutes in total, yet his performance is so masterful that there can be no doubt that his role is the main one. In short, it shines. And last but not least, I can't ignore the direction, because I will probably never forget the scene with Rachmaninov's concerto.

An incredible film about a pianist who was driven beyond normal by music. This riveting opus by the brilliant Geoffrey Rush is not just some neat "unfortunate genius" scheme that has been on display a lot lately - it's a story that has the gift of tearing down the most common human things. Art is a sacrifice. Sometimes too cruel.

I saw the movie "Shine" once as a school screening, probably just on television in the classroom, but even back then it left a strong impression on me. And that impression was repeated when I watched it again. Both Geoffrey Rush and Noah Taylor, as well as Armin Mueller-Stahl, play in an absolutely captivating way that deeply touches you.
