A 2014 American biographical film directed by Bill Pohlad about musician and songwriter Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. The film, deriving its title from the 1988 song by Wilson, is presented in a parallel narrative covering two specific time periods of Wilson's life: the 1960s and the 1980s. 'Love & Music' is The life of reclusive Beach Boys songwriter and musician Brian Wilson, from his successes with highly-influential orchestral pop albums to his nervous breakdown and subsequent encounter with controversial therapist Dr. Eugene Landy.

Trivia
Dano alternates throughout the film between singing for real and lip-syncing to original recordings of Wilson's singing.
Dano and Cusack did not interact with each other during filming. This was encouraged by Pohlad, who didn't want the actors to simply perform an impression of Wilson, but to create their own organic understanding of his character.
Spoken by Dano, the line "You think we could get a horse in here?" was taken nearly verbatim from Pet Sounds session tapes. Wilson intended to bring a horse in the studio and photograph it for the album's cover.
