This was a great biopic told in a fresh, intriguing way. I can't believe something like this could happen to a legend though, a crazy doctor ruling his life. Horrible. Great movie, and I loved all the ways they showed Wilson coming up with the hits. Immediately had to revisit his catalog on Apple music.

I don't know much about the Beach Boys or Brian Wilson beyond the music but despite that Paul Dano did a wonderful job building a great character which I assume is a likeness of Brian Wilson. Interesting to see Cusack playing this type of character. Not his typical. Not sure that it was so good because Cusack never really fell to the background.

Dano and Cusack were terrific as Brian Wilson, and Banks and Giamatti perfect in support. Much better than I expected, this is a superior biopic.

Best biopic I've ever watched. I loved the style they shot it in and [spoiler]the two timelines in the script. [/spoiler] Great performances all around. Legendary complicated piece of music history told in an engaging way. We even get to witness [spoiler]the production of the best song of all time.[/spoiler]

Love & Mercy is the story of Beach Boys singer/song writer Brian Wilson and his struggles with mental illness. Starring John Cusack, Elizabeth Banks, Paul Giamatti, and Paul Dano, the cast is quite impressive and gives strong performances. The film follows in parallel two storylines, one of Wilson in middle-age as he starts dating a Cadillac saleswoman named Melinda who tries to help him break free of the manipulation and control of his therapist (who’d taken advantage of Wilson’s mental health issues); while the other plot follows Wilson during the late ‘60s when his disorder led the Beach Boys to start touring without him and eventual to rewrite his music. However, the script isn’t really able to juggle these two stories and comes off more as Cliff Notes. Yet despite its fragmented feel, Love & Mercy is a compelling drama that’s both tragic and inspirational.
