Review of Love & Mercy (2015) by Jack J — 06 Jun 2015
John Cusack as Brian Wilson? Never!
I wasn't able to "buy into" these actors portraying someone as complicated as Brian Wilson..so, I kind of checked out from the get go.
At least Paul Dano kind of looked like a younger Brian but even still, I wasn't buying it.
Not nearly enough time was spent on both the scale of his LSD usage and his incessant need to compete with the Beatles..totally glossed over these very important contributors to his eventual mental collapse.
This is a made for Hollywood movie that could very easily have been an after school TV special....
Net net, I for one won't "Do It Again".
