Review
"A deeply satisfying pop biopic whose subject's bifurcated creative life lends itself to an unconventional structure."--Hollywood Reporter"Love & Mercy might not go as deep, or as dark, as it could, but it's a commanding and artful film, that's full of excellent and worthy performances whether you're a student of Brian Wilson or just a curious tourist."--Associated Press"Love & Mercy" gets one thing right that most movies get wrong: The great artist isn't tormented in the creation of art. That's often the joy and the abandon. The torment is everything else."--San Francisco Chronicle"It offers a glimpse into the making of immortal pop tunes, songs of love and longing that are all the more astonishing considering the mental anguish their creator was enduring."--Toronto Star
