Music really is that serious. I watched this with my father, who has no experience with playing an instrument, and I realized just how different we saw this movie. I felt and related to the MC, I knew what it was really like to be so invested in music. I really loved the end.

The critics bestowed upon this film almost unanimous praise, yet some were quick to bemoan it as “overrated”. It’s the same old story. And while sometimes the “bemoaners” may be right, this time it is just proof that they are mostly wrong. Whiplash is utterly fantastic, entertaining and yet somehow brutal and harrowing at the same time. We watch in fascinated horror as Miles Teller’s character ascends, descends and ascends again into one fleeting last moment of glory. While the film’s editing and sound-design is top-notch, the performances of J.K. Simmons and Miles Teller keep this afloat. A masterpiece, do absolutely watch.

Pretty intense drumming movie. I think it's about the pursuit of perfection and maybe something about fathers. Really great finale. Fingers bleeding. Put this ham on your face!

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

**Whiplash grips its audience from start to finish with a remarkable awe-inspiring performance by J. K. Simmons.** BRUTAL! Whiplash is a savage film with mind-blowing career-defining performances, interesting storytelling, and palpable oppressive anxiety. J. K. Simmons didn’t deserve an Oscar for this movie… he deserved all the Oscars. I was in awe of the intensity and cruelty Simmons unleashed throughout the film while peppering in moments of vulnerability that keep the audience guessing if he is a clever mentor or a manipulative abuser. I love how the film ends, leaving that very question open-ended. I didn’t enjoy the volume of language, and obviously, the subject matter of the movie wasn’t a fun focus, but the mastery of the performances, cinematography, and storytelling establish Whiplash as a true Oscar-worthy film.
