High Praise for Film Adaptation of ‘Brightly Shining’

Following the Oslo Pix Film Festival in Norway, the film adaptation of Ingvild H. Rishøi’s Brightly Shining received a rave review from German newspaper The Spot. Here’s what they had to say:

“With a deeply tender view on childhood, [Brightly Shining] follows two sisters who suffer at the hands of their alcoholic father. […] It is the small moments and the interpersonal relationships […] that represent the film’s clear strengths. Like the film itself, they possess a tenderness that feels incredibly honest.”

The film adaptation of Brightly Shining premiered on July 24th, 2025.
