Beautiful, tragic and human

Rating: 8/10 (9 October 2015)

This is a divided drama, mainly about the adult life of Brian Wilson, the artistic leader of The Beach Boys, the trip through their magnum opus - "Pet Sounds" - while Brian was dealing with his brothers, the band and his superimposing father, constantly trying to overshadow Brian, as well as displaying him in the modern world, a victim to his legal guardian, while meeting love.
It's a carefully threaded history, made with love and meticulous acting. It's as though the director and the actors were paying homage to Brian's legacy while making this film.
Beauty is around. And it's not patronising, overblown or too much. If anything, it's kind. And human, open to what can happen to people.
