Most "Children of the 60s" and beyond know the story of singer - songwriter Brian Wilson. Burdened by an abusive childhood ,drug addiction and schizophrenia, the driving force of the superstar band, The Beach Boys, disappeared from public life and sank deep into depression, at one point, not leaving his bedroom for nearly two years. But, wait...this is a movie of redemption!

"Love & Mercy", starring Paul Dano as 60s Brian and John Cusack as Wilson, twenty some years later, tells the moving - and heartening - story of this musical genius' self destruction and rebirth.

"Love & Mercy" opened to a limited nationwide release June 5 and is not yet playing in the Shreveport - Bossier area..
