The Warmth of the Sun.

Rating: 7/10 (27 April 2020)

The story of Brian Wilson's breakdown and eventual creative rebirth when liberated from the control of Eugene Landy is well know. This film put a bit of flesh into that story. It works well but only as a TV movie, it's not a big movie by any stretch of the imagination. What works well is the footage of the band and the session musicians.Carol Kaye in her sunglasses is the highlight of the movie gig me. The actors who play the Beach Boys are great too. Love and Mercy the song is beautiful Brian sounds so fragile. I do follow the Brian is a genius path and if films like this keep his music alive it is doing its job. Eugene Landy and Mike Love are particularly unpleasant in the movie, although I think Love as been misrepresented in the Brach Boys story
