This movie is about Brian Wilson, a man so possessed and infatuated with getting the perfect sound, that it ultimately led to his downfall. Paul Dano plays Brian Wilson so brilliantly, that you may forget that you are actually watching a movie. This movie about mental illness is one of the most emotionally gripping movies of this year.
