- Synopsis:
"Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road" is a deeply personal documentary that explores the life and career of Brian Wilson, the legendary songwriter and co-founder of The Beach Boys, through a literal and metaphorical road trip across Los Angeles, Brian's hometown. With Rolling Stone editor Jason Fine behind the wheel and Brian selecting the music, the two revisit many of the periods and locations integral in shaping Brian's life. Incorporating fascinating anecdotes and interviews with a diverse set of musicians that were profoundly inspired by Brian's musical legacy, including Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Nick Jonas, Linda Perry, Jakob Dylan and Taylor Hawkins, the film also features over 50 of Brian's most iconic hits, rare tracks, never-before-heard demos, and his own personal home movies and photo albums. With honesty and humour, this intimate, unconventional, and deeply revealing portrait of one of rock and roll's most legendary - and most enigmatic - icons, explores The Beach Boys cofounder's life in music, his struggles with mental illness, and the daily rhythms of his life. - Actors:

Nothing New - Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road review by Dr Waerdnotte
This brings nothing new to the Brian Wilson narrative, in fact compared to what's already available it's pretty pedestrian. A lot of time is taken up with Brian and Jason chewing the fat, or rather Jason reassuring Brian as he struggles with his anxieties. Really rather dull. For Wilson obsessives only.
