As unconventional and unwieldy as the life and legacy it honors, Love & Mercy should prove moving for Brian Wilson fans while still satisfying neophytes. Read critic reviews

May 05, 2016A look at the year or two that proved to be the most creative for Mr. Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, the reckless self-medication that accompanied those times (as well as ever-so-slight nods as to why he did), and what was left of the man when he emerged from the other side. It's okay but it's very clean, and certainly not the tale of a survivor that it hints that it might be.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Mar 29, 2016As the child of 2 parents who love The Beach Boys this movie appealed to me. The story isn't really of the rise and fall of Brian Wilson, it is mainly about the fall of Wilson and it made for a great storyKameron W Super Reviewer

Feb 09, 2016A top knotch musical bio that will make you admire Brian Wilson even though his life story is not easy to comprehend. Dano and Cusack are fantastic in duo roles and Elizabeth Banks has never been better as WIlson's girlfriend and eventual wife. Polhad directs masterfully and gives you real insight into Wilson's musical genius as he creates the album Pet Sounds. GIamatti also shines as the villain. A sure don't miss film for Beach Boy fans and music lovers alike. 02-01-2016Christopher O Super Reviewer

Feb 07, 2016Love & 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.Dann M Super Reviewer
