Biopic über den kalifornischen Musiker Brian Wilson, der Hits schrieb wie "Good Vibrations" und "Wouldn’t it be Nice". Mitte der 1960er: Die Beach Boys gehören zu den weltweit erfolgreichsten Bands, mit ihrem Surf-Sound sind sie Dauergäste in den Charts. Ihre Beliebtheit verdanken die Jungs nicht zuletzt dem kreativen Input Brians , der ein hohes Ziel vor Augen hat: das große Konzeptalbum "Pet Sounds", ein zusammenhängendes Kunstwerk anstelle von separaten Hits. Doch die Beach Boys straucheln unter dem Druck, den die Arbeit am Magnum Opus bedeutet, zumal Brian auch noch zunehmend den Drogen verfällt und unter seinem autoritären Vater Murry leidet. Zu Beginn der 1990er ist Brian geistig und körperlich am Ende, wird durch seinen Vormund Dr. Eugene Landy kontrolliert, der dazu bewusst überdosierte Medikamente einsetzt. Landy passt es gar nicht, dass Brian der Autoverkäuferin Melinda Ledbetter näherkommt…

This was a great biopic told in a fresh, intriguing way. I can't believe something like this could happen to a legend though, a crazy doctor ruling his life. Horrible. Great movie, and I loved all the ways they showed Wilson coming up with the hits. Immediately had to revisit his catalog on Apple music.
Excellent surprise that movie. Great actor's performance, very nice picture and top notch soundtrack. What else?
Dano and Cusack were terrific as Brian Wilson, and Banks and Giamatti perfect in support. Much better than I expected, this is a superior biopic.
Loved it. Ending clip of Wilson at the concert always gets me 🏼
I wanted to enjoy this movie so much more than I actually did. Wilson's story is incredible, but I don't know that it translates that well into a movie. Don't get me wrong, part of the movie are amazing. Unfortunately, almost all of those scenes are with Dano, especially when he is in the studio. The timeline in the later years suffers from a lack of interesting material, which again goes back to the question about translating his story into a movie. Cusack and Banks are great, but they have so very little to work with. I wonder if the decision to have alternating timelines was the result of the director acknowledging that the material in the later timeline is weak. follow me at https://IHATEbadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies
