i was pleasantly surprised by this. mainly because whenever i've seen miles teller on screen before i've wanted to slap him until my wrist snaps. admittedly, there were certainly moments here where a hard slap was needed. the leap from shy and retiring to bulshy cunt was a smidgeon too quick for me. narratively it had to happen but the time shown in the film seemed like it took a couple of weeks to progress rather than months. whilst i've never been in the same league as these musicians i have met people like fletcher and they are a force to be reckoned with. this is where i find fault with... read more

una historia de música y obsesión (como dice su subtítulo en español latino), donde el protagonista no es un héroe, no es un monstruo, no es extremadamente bueno ni extremadamente maligno; es un humano, y como tal experimenta su entorno de una manera particular, diferente a la percepción de otros. todos aquí cometen errores, todos aquí tienen sentimientos, en un mundo dominado por el miedo, el fracaso y la ambición. encuadres cerrados, zoom-ins y zoom-outs, planos generales, desenfoque y cámara en mano, entre otras de las técnicas que utiliza el señor chazelle para adentrarnos en la psique de... read more

after watching the trailer for whiplash i just had to see it. i had to see it for two reasons. first, j.k. simmons ina lead role, how could that not be awesome. and secondly it looked god damn intense. so it opened up here in toronto, and i trekked out to the one theatre that as playing it to behold the crazy psycho drama that is whiplash. now it is an intense film, and a very good film and it will hold up on repeated viewings very well. and it will be better on these repeat viewings. why better on repeat viewings? well, for me, i was expecting a lot more build to intensity that all out 'war'... read more

anyone who doubts miles teller as an actor should see this film to have their thoughts on the topic revised. whiplash is an intense, powerful dramatic piece of work that takes jazz music and uses it as the battleground for a mental war. teller and j.k. simmons are perfectly placed against each other, embodying their roles with absolute conviction and eliciting some insanely good moments from each other as a result. simmons deserves every accolade that he is getting in the intense, monstrous role of terence fletcher, captivating and repulsing us at the same time. and to say the music is read more

whiplash magnífica película sobre el dificil y competitivo mundo de la música, en especial cuando un profesor es tan duro y exigente como terence fletcher. la interpretación del profesor es excelente y merecedora del oscar. el joven aspirante a convertirse en uno de los grandes baterias del jazz tiene que superar las pruebas que le irán poniendo. la película transmite toda la tensión y ansiedad que tiene el aspirante a bateria, gracias a los planos y montaje de la película. una de las mejores películas del año sin duda. read more

man, i just don't have damien chazelle's taste. he has some kind of certain love for a 'classic' era of style and music that he is unable to translate to me. this film has miles teller really playing some pretty great jazz, but all the film told me was that he had to work his ass off to do it, and he buys into the narrative that the means justify the ends. i wanted the film to teach me a bit about what he was doing. why was it so hard? how was he good? what was the difference between him and other players? between good jazz and bad jazz? i left with no better understanding of what it was to... read more

just like lady bird, i had already heard for months what a great movie this is, and i found that enigmatic. in fact, kind of based on this movie without seeing it, one of the central themes of the film was also (for a while) the central theme of a screenplay i've been writing and rewriting for a couple of years: the sacrifice of the artist for his creation. in pursuit of absolute perfection, what would you be willing to sacrifice? in my life so far i have not come across anyone like fletcher, but i have no doubt that one day i will come across someone like him. fletcher is perhaps one of the... read more

Holy shit! 2014s Whiplash is a fucking masterpiece. Directed by Damien Chazelle of Babylon and La La Land fame, he absolutely rules here, both in direction and story, along with cinematography. The cast here is so so good, both in Miles Teller as Neiman and J.K. Simmons as Terence Fletcher and together they give us such iconic scenes. To add on top of that, youve also got Supergirl AKA Melissa Benoist and Paul Reiser in this flick. The story here is incredible both in the way Andrew Neimans and Terence Fletchers relationship plays out over the course of the movie, and of course the read more

Sound: 9  

J.K. Simmons is 10/10 in the Fletcher role, Miles Teller is also good.

The music is awesome.

The story is extremely simple and seems to me very detached from what a music school/carreer probably is, this is more like one of those "we must make it to the end" sport movies. But the formula works and it's full of small twist that keep you interested.

Very good drama from relatively new director Damien Chazelle.So much tension in the movie between teacher and student.Both Miles Teller as the student drummer and especially J.K. Simmons as the strict teacher. He should pick up the best supporting actor at this years Academy Awards.Interesting to note the film was shot in just under 3 weeks.To get the acting,camera work and everything perfect is an outstanding achievement and hopefully the film gets a more wider audience and the accolades it deserves. read more

Didn't go to see this when it came out because it just looked like a movie about an asshole, and while I was super dumb for thinking that, I also probably wasn't ready for this movie when I was 18. Whiplash grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go until the end, and J.K. Simmons completely molds into a role that was written for him. read more

I am at a loss for words to describe this masterpiece. The perfect plot, revenge, and comeback story type of movie.It has the ability to surprise you and make you think that you know what's going to happen, only to deliver the most unexpected and wild scenes. I am absolutely in love with it. The storyline, characters, and the entire setting that it creates to build something else is nothing short of a masterpiece. It's definitely one of my all-time favorites.

Heard from someone this was good. I didn't expect much originally but thought it might be good. Damn Simmons regained his Schilinger persona from Oz. He was a dick which was odd after years of him playing dad's and good guys. I have a low tolerance for douche bags in real life so I couldn't relate to taking the abuse.The minute he used the bit of information he gave about his personal life against him would have been game on for me. And putting hands? Nah, that ain't happening. A high compliment was how I was reminded of Sgt Hartman from Full Metal Jacket. Interesting look at assholes in read more
