Review of Love & Mercy (2015) by Rick B — 12 Dec 2015
A very interesting and well-acted biopic on Brian Wilson played by Paul Dano in his younger years and John Cusack in his older years. Cusack doesn't particularly look like Wilson, but his performance as an older Beach Boy fighting demons is captivating. So is Paul Dano. Let's not leave out Elizabeth Banks who plays Wilson's love interest and Paul Giamatti who is scary as Wilson's medical guardian. The music will bring fans back to the glory days of The Beach Boys and new insight to one of its members whose life was anything but sunshine.
Grade: A-.
