Eye opening movie!

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2015)

I have always been a fan of the Beach Boys, although I wasn't even born when their music was rocking the world. So, apart from their songs, I have to admit I knew very little about the life of its band members. This is what I liked about "Love & Mercy": it helped me discover the struggles of Brian Wilson, and his natural genius.
On the other hand, I find it hard to tell if I liked the movie because of the story or because it is a good movie. It's always difficult when a film is based on true events.
What I know though is that I was about to fall asleep when I played it, and within a few minutes, I started feeling the need to stay awake and see it through. How many movies could have done that? Not many.
So cheers to Brian Wilson for his unbelievable music, and thanks to Bill Pohlad for making us discover what was behind the man who sent "Good vibrations" to the whole world.
