I understand why Pierre Berge didn't want this released. This is such an unprofessional documentary. The sound is horrible. Literally, you can't hear anything. It is actually boring and you have to wonder how you can make anything about Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge boring. You don't even see much of the clothes. There is a lot of the very talented seamstresses, but there is not a showing of what they actually did, except one person. AND, this is supposed to be about Yves Saint Laurent. It is just making him look like he smokes too much and has facial ticks. REALLY? What is this documentary about? It should be about his genius OR Pierre Berge's genius, or about most of them. Everyone is flawed, which is fine, but this gives us absolutely nothing. I only gave it two stars because of the subject matter. Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge were the perfect team. Creative genius and astounding businessman. Unbelievable that his director, given the opportunity couldn't do a better job or a good job at all.

I am not a football fan, but I loved this movie. The tight close ups bring the viewer into the film. The character development is not drawn out, it is quick and gets the audience invested immediately. Really amazing directing! The coloring and the sparse landscape make the reader understand what living in a Texas town like that is and how important high school football can be. They took The Last Picture Show and made us understand what the players felt when they were the stars in high school. The family dynamics, the team dynamics, the coach...everything works. The performances were great, but were totally driven by the director, the DP and the editor. This movie shows how important all the people behind the scenes are. Bravo!

Fantastic movie! Brian Wilson was so talented and John Cusack does an amazing job embodying his character. The direction is great. The characters are perfect. You will learn a lot about Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys and learn to be empathetic toward Brian. Very inspiring, yet also sad. Acting and direction are great and of course you will love hearing the music!
