It'd be possible to disregard the plot of Shining Through if it wasn't entirely about the plot. Despite production value and a somewhat reputable cast, the film just uses them to put a completely nonsensical story front and center. If ever there was a time to let style rule over substance, this was it. The script is just so far-fetched and terrible, and Melanie Griffith is wretched trying to play a utilitarian, yet career-minded American spy. Earning the Razzie for Worst Picture while being about WWII and the Holocaust is no easy task, but this couldn't deserve the distinction more.
