Rating: 2/5 -- Unfortunately creative producer and financier Bill Pohlad's revisit to the directorial role becomes a bit of a long and hard slog, regrettably warped by excess. Full Review

This biopic is well worth watching because it is unlike any you have ever scene. It is not formulaic and deftly manages to avoid the clichés that so many biopics embrace - rags to riches etc. Full Review

The film's discrepancies ... make for a disorienting journey that may be better spent listening to Pet Sounds one more time. Full Review

Paul Dano and John Cusack bring the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson to life in Bill Pohlad's vibrant cure for the common musical biopic.

Product Description:

Bill Pohlad's LOVE & MERCY, a biopic of Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson, focuses on two distinct periods in the songwriter's life. One timeline follows Wilson (played as a younger man by Paul Dano) as he quits performing live in order to focus on the creation of the album PET SOUNDS, the single "Good Vibrations," and the eventually discarded album SMILE. During this period of intense work, Wilson's mental-health issues grow worse. The other section of the film features John Cusack as an older Wilson, as he attempts to escape the influence of a manipulative doctor (Paul Giamatti) who has become a totalitarian guru to him. Helping him in this endeavor is a car saleswoman named Melinda (Elizabeth Banks). LOVE & MERCY screened at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
