Appalled at all of the Spectacular reviews.

Rating: 3/10 (30 October 2014)

No need for a long review here. I am disappointed and amazed at the overwhelmingly 9 and 10 star reviews for Whiplash from Users and Critics alike. I agree that the performances are great, and for them I give some stars. In spite of the acting the film/screenplay ultimately glorifies cruelty and abuse to achieve success. I mourn the fact that we have become so insensitive to traumatic, inhuman treatment.
I might have felt differently if there were rewards for winning over cruelty rather than glorification of both
