Saw this a few days ago and thought it was excellent.

I have never been much of a Beach Boys fan, but this really made me appreciate Brian Wilson's talent.

And what a twisted course his life took. The movie focuses on two stages of his life rather than doing a complete bio. Cusack and Dano both did a great job portraying different phases. But Paul Giamatti was the best at playing the control crazy psycho shrink.

Two thumbs up.
