      nmtmjh1 I just finished re-watching Shining Through and am reminded how much I love this movie! I would have a difficult time attempting to find fault 9th anything. By far the best Melanie Griffith vehicle, and the chemistry between Michael Douglas and Melanie is quite apparent and charming. Plenty of tension at times....beautifully filmed...highly recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/23 Full Review Steve D Passable but miscast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Liam D While not the worst thing ever because of the great central performances by the central cast it's still a bland WW2 thriller Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/05/22 Full Review a.l.jude p Excellent in all aspects. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Es criticada por su fantástica e irreal historia, pero nadie critico que mandaran a 8 soldados a buscar a uno solo por que un general lo pidió para sentirse bien con si mismo por la caída de los hermanos del soldado! No es una película épica sin duda, pero logro mantenerme tenso y Douglas acto muy bien, Melanie bueno ella solo fue ella nada extraordinario pero lograron transmitir de forma somera pero convincente la atmósfera de vivir bajo la Alemania nazi Mala no es, tal vez un poco ingenua Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascinatingly bad script.

      Ryan Murphy Miami Herald [Shining Through] is very much like the lush, sweeping, sentimental epics that Hollywood churned out during the '40s -- and as overblown and treacly as any of the patriotic paeans released during those war-torn years. Rated: 2/4 Aug 17, 2021 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: B- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Vanessa Letts The Spectator David Seltzer has had the good sense to stick to a proven formula and the whole thing is genuinely romantic. Jul 23, 2018 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant Lavishly staged in German locations and handsomely costumed -- with some particularly fetching hats for Griffith -- Shining Through is never hard to watch. Sometimes, however, it is ludicrous to listen to. May 30, 2018 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 12, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
