Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
We're shown so many symptoms that, regardless of which actor is playing the hero, there's little relief from the prevailing grimness, and less sense of a life in full.

When you consider all the ways that "Love & Mercy" could have gone terribly wrong, and how full of life it is in the end (and, yes, of love and mercy), I think the end product is almost miraculous.

Unnerving as it is thrilling, as visually and aurally vivid as it is emotionally harrowing.

Dano and Cusack never let us forget that Wilson is human before he is anything else - genius, icon, legend.

After seeing "Love & Mercy," you'll find it nearly impossible to resist the urge to download (or re-listen to) a dozen Beach Boys classics.
