"Love & Mercy" is a biographical drama about Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys' musical genius. It weaves two timelines—Paul Dano's young, inventive Wilson and John Cusack's older, fragile figure—into a portrait of creative brilliance, personal struggle, and the pressure of fame. Directed by Bill Pohlad, the film features Elizabeth Banks and Paul Giamatti in an intimate, music‑driven study of love, control, and redemption in a pop icon's life.
