2h 1m
Directed by Bill Pohlad • 2015 • United Kingdom
Starring Paul Dano, John Cusack, Paul Giamatti
The rare musician biopic to compellingly convey the process of artistic creation, this sublime portrait of Beach Boys visionary Brian Wilson jumps back and forth in time between the 1960s, as a young Wilson pushes himself to the brink to realize his magnum opus, “Pet Sounds,” and the 1980s, when he attempts to rebuild his life after years of mental-health struggles. Featuring two extraordinary incarnations of Wilson from Paul Dano and John Cusack, LOVE & MERCY captures both the obsessive genius and aching fragility that has given his art its lasting resonance.
