The younger and older versions of the musicians Paul Dano and John Cusackand both actors do a stunning job of portraying the artist’s struggle with mental illness and addiction. The film also examines Wilson’s creative victory over decades and his relationship with a controversial therapist Dr. Eugene Randy (pole Gamatti) And his wife, Melinda Ledbetter (Elizabeth Banks).
From Jeremy Allen White’s upcoming Bruce Springsteen films to Timote Chalametto, who presents his completely unknown Bob Dylan-like vocals, musical biographies seem to be everywhere. However, these flicks are not a new phenomenon. Films centered around the life of musical icons have captivated audiences for decades, from the daughter of a coal miner in the 1980s. […]
Wilson himself called the film “very effectively.” Vulturewho said that the scene in which his version of Dano used drugs was “not funny to watch.” The film presents the intricate drawings of the musicians’ darkest days, but ultimately it is elevated, leaving viewers with a sense of satisfaction in life.
