Widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of all times, Pet Sounds was the product of Brian Wilson’s innovative genius (and a lot of LSD). He and The Beach Boys had already achieved phenomenal success with corny classics like ‘California Girls’, but Wilson wanted more.

Bill Pohlad’s biopic Love & Mercyfollows Wilson’s rise and fall, with Paul Dano playing a young Wilson and John Cusack playing an older Wilson, alongside love interest Elizabeth Banks and Paul Giamatti as the controversial Dr. Eugene Landy.
