A Must see!

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2015)

If you are a fan of Brian Wilson run don't walk to see this movie!!! Bill Pohlad did a magnificent job with Brian's story. John Cusack as Brian nailed his performance as did Paul Dano. This is the best musical biopic I have ever seen. It takes you in to the heart and soul of Brian's music. I wasn't sure if Cusack was going to do Brian justice since everyone was saying he didn't resemble Wilson, but I found him very much resembling Wilson during the late 80's and early 90's. He had his mannerisms down to the tea. I really felt hisrole was a harder role to play since we really didn't see or know that much about Brian during those Landy years. Paul Dano did an amazing job singing and playing the piano. His ability to capture that sweet and innocent time period of Pet Sounds and Smile just blew me away. Elizabeth Banks as Melinda Ledbetter is probably her finest work to date. She needs to do more serious acting since she definitely has the chops. This movie is Oscar worthy for sure.
