"I know it's only a movie, and so perhaps I'd be willing to suspent my disbelief. But Shining Through is such an insult to the intelligence that I wasn't able to do that. Here is a film in which scene after scene is so implausible that the film kept pushing me outside and making me ask how the key scenes could possibly be taken seriously."
