Better than most music bio-pics

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2015)

The film did a terrific job of showing Brian worked in the studio. His interactions with the Wrecking Crew and musical innovation were fascinating and the writer, director and editor did a great job of showing both the technical and emotional aspects of creation in motion.
The whole movie was very good but especially strong were:
1) The Score - The composers ingeniously mixed studio talkback, Beach Boys music, original score and sound efx to add an emotional core that allowed the director and editor to range freely.
2) The Editing - The Editor and Director were able to interweave the two time periods in a way that built suspense and kept forward momentum in the plot. The loose juxtaposition of images created an emotional dissonance that reflected the music and the state of Brian's mind.
