LOVE AND MERCY The life of a troubled Beach Boy

Paul Dano and John Cusack play Beach Boys genius Brian Wilson at different stages in his life. The biopic charts the making of his masterpiece, Pet Sounds, in the 1960s, his subsequent breakdown and eventual resurgence. Elizabeth Banks (left, with Cusack) portrays Wilson’s second wife, Melinda, while Paul Giamatti is chilling as the dodgy psychotherapist Dr Eugene Landy, who played a major role in the singersongwriter’s life.
