LOVE&MERCY on GOOGLEPLAY and NOWHERE else. HAPPILY paid $20 for the privilege to screen this first run, not even in theaters 8/25/15. Between BEACH BOYS/BRIAN WILSON fanatics like myself and say, MUSIC fanatics (ANY type fanatics), there is a difference. And STILL, money was put up (4TH BIO- PIC ON THIS SUBJECT BTW) for ALL to know this epic, American saga; And to enjoy it in as full and as imaginative a production as can be PRAYED for-To KNOW what happened.

I've been a fan of The Beach Boys since 2012 (I'm only 20 years old) and my obsession with them has given me a pretty solid foundation of their history.

It depicts the mind of Brian Wilson without trying to say his mental state provided the key to some sort of magical formula to making great music.

Pretty much the only reasons I was interested. Agree with the comment that Cusack looks nothing like Wilson, but he steps into roles like no one else. Didn't like all the flashbacks, felt the pacing was off & nearly nauseating. But, at least, Cusack
