Brian Wilson is the creative soul of The Beach Boys, but he paid a heavy price for his talent. That especially shows during his peak artistic years in the 1960s, as his inner demons and obsessions trying to please his abusive father drive him to a mental breakdown that would plague him for years. In the 1980s, with Brian barely functional under the domination of the unscrupulous Dr. Landy, Brian meets and falls in love with Melinda Ledbetter. As their relationship grows, she observes Brian's crippling subservience to the abusive psychotherapist with growing alarm. Ultimately, she must take action with a love willing to stand up to oppression she cannot ignore.
Leave your thoughts about Love & Mercy.
| BBC.comOwen GleibermanYou feel like you're right there in the studio with Brian Wilson as he creates Pet Sounds. It's a little like sitting next to Beethoven: the film is tender and moving, but also awe-inspiring. |
| Village VoiceStephanie ZacharekThe beauty, and the horror, of Bill Pohlad's exhilarating and inventive Love & Mercy...is the sense it gives us of the world passing through Brian Wilson's ears. |
| Vague VisagesJacob OllerThe film's discrepancies ... make for a disorienting journey that may be better spent listening to Pet Sounds one more time. |
| DCistPat PaduaIts deepest truth isn't the stuff of tell-all biography: the movie shows the kind of personal obsession and hard work that goes into a seemingly carefree pop masterpiece. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleLove & Mercy captures with striking immediacy the unbound power of the artist in his element. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayIt’s difficult to make a visually dynamic movie about people listening. But that’s precisely what Pohlad has done with both sensitivity and audaciousness, on the one hand attuning his protagonist to the music of the spheres, and on the other bearing witness to his deepest isolation and sadness. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallIt's a remarkable movie, the first of 2015 that I can't wait to see and hear again. |
| HitfixDrew McWeenyIn essence, we get to study Brian's break with sanity and his eventual healing, but by keeping the focus tight on these two moments, the film becomes emotionally exhilarating. |
| TheShiznit.co.ukMatt LookerProvides proof that Brian Wilson really wasn't made for those times. Or, indeed, these. |
| Cine PremiereDiana Sánchez UrangaAn entertaining and inspiring movie with great acting, narratice and an epic portrayal of a significant moment in music. [Full review in Spanish] |
