Full Plot Details

Maire O'Donnell is a loving woman as rare as a double rainbow. Joyful, warm and caring, she adopts a young orphan named Tomas and whisks him off to a new home on remote Corrie Island, off the coast of Ireland. Maire shares with Tomas the joys of her island home and introduces him to the whimsical local folklore, including the secret of the seals, and teaches him that everything you need is inside of you- if you really look. But Maire's stern husband Alec silently disapproves of Tomas' timidity and halting speech. He can't hide his disappointment that Tomas isn't the kind of child he was hoping for and his reluctance to get to know the boy makes Tomas unsure of whether he really belongs. Soon though, Tomas too falls in love with his home, befriending local children, descending into a secret bat-filled cave, and saving a stranded baby seal. When tragedy strikes however, Tomas is faced with his greatest challenge yet. He'll lose everything unless he can find- and share- the unique gifts inside of him. Risking all, Tomas embarks on a perilous journey where he will need to call on his ability to see joy and color even when in the darkest place, in order to triumph and come home. A Shine Of Rainbows is a story about the transformational power of love, about finding acceptance, discovering ourselves, and realizing that rainbows are all around us- and within us too.

Movie Reviews

7M Pictures - 7/10 by Kevin CarrThe story is sweet and tender, and it's modestly self-contained. Sure, it deals with some heavy topics and subjects, but it doesn't beat the viewer over the head with it.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertA sweet, good-looking film about nice people in a beautiful place, and young John Bell is an appealing performer in the tradition of the Culkins. Quinn and Nielsen are pros who take their roles seriously, and Vic Sarin's direction gets the job done.
Spirituality and Practice - 6/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA fine family film about an orphan who finds a satisfying new life in the countryside of Ireland.
Christianity Today - 6/10 by Russ BreimeierA nice, wholesome movie with a positive story about learning to be loved and to love others. Unfortunately, it's also too dull and treacly for most tastes.
BrianOrndorf.com - 6/10 by Brian OrndorfFar from the most convincing source of matinee entertainment, it's pleasing to find something not backed by an aggressive marketing campaign, focused on the plague of modern youth, or weighed down by bathroom humor.
Jam! Movies - 4/10 by Liz BraunA Shine of Rainbows is a sweet tale about a little boy and the mother who teaches him to appreciate every nook and cranny of everyday life.
Film Freak Central - 1/10 by Bill ChambersGawd, this movie is so nauseatingly nice.
User Review - 10/10 by Meaghan CIt is a very nice and touching story. One of the rare movies that has good morals and simple plot.
User Review - 10/10 by Terrence GA very moving Canadian & Irish production about a young orphan who comes to live with a childless couple on a remote Irish island in the early 1960's. Adapted from a beloved children's book, the film is a touching tale of a sensitive boy with a stutter who finds a home and his place in the world.
