Chances are, you’ve heard of the Everly Brothers, but it’s a safe bet that you’ve never heard of the Emerson Brothers. Based on the true story of brothers Donnie (Casey Affleck) and Joe (Walton Goggins) Emerson, a musical duo who bloomed early but whose ship came in much, much later, “Dreamin’ Wild” is a low-key, rather dull, yet paradoxically well-acted music movie with a heartwarming message.
