Whiplash was so damn intense. The movie sounds fantastic; the music, the sound mixing, it's all really, really well-done. The acting was all really good and J.K. Simmons' performance in particular is insane(ly good), definitely a contender for Best Supporting Actor. Occasionally he reminded me of a conductor at my high school who got pretty mad at times, but fortunately not quite as much. The editing was nicely done as well, some of the cuts were timed with the music being played which worked really well and made musical performances interesting to watch. The plot's pretty simple but the story manages to not be very predictable and it's certainly very energetic. The climax was incredible. Second best movie of the year so far.

Te pone a trotar desde que comienza y entonces te va haciendo aumentar la velocidad constantemente, hasta que tu corazón no puede latir más rápido y en ese momento salen los créditos.

I think it's pretty safe to say that this is the only movie about Jazz Drumming you actually have to watch.

I got to say I was WOWed and I am not even a jazz fan but the performance and the intensity of the movie got to me through every single step of the way. I wanted to reach out and strangle Simmons for the most part of the movie for his EPIC performance, which IMHO should really snag that best support More

Awesome movie. Intense, greatly acted, greatly written, great music. Lot of other reviews touched on many things, but here is why it was so special for me:

1. The structure of the story. On normal story (look up Hollywood formula) you have
first: introduction with the main character taking a cho More

Loved the movie.

Whiplash tells a great story, a sad one too.
Andrew Neiman is drummer who aspires greatness and is fished by Terence Fletcher a renown teacher in New York.
While everything looks like a dream come true, not everything is as it seems.

My opinion:
[spoiler]Even though I loved More

It is less than what is described as a wonderful piece of art consisting of music, artistic performance, directing and photography. It's one of my favorite movies. This piece of art inspired me
