It’s not unusual for some of us, with this newfound time on our hands, to reflect on those films in the past that have slipped through the cracks one way or another. Whether it’s an indie film that didn’t release near you (or it’s a classic film that feels embarrassing to admit you’ve never seen), there is something cathartic to using that time to sit down and chip away at that back catalog, maybe even discovering a new favorite in the process. Personally, one of those films that I kept wanting to watch but never did was “Love & Mercy,” the musical biopic from Bill Pohlad about The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson. I’m a sucker for music biopics (and Paul Dano...and John Cusack) so it felt like an easy first film to start off my “busy schedule.” What I got instead was probably one of the best music biopics I’ve ever seen.
