It took me to the edge... of my seat.

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2015)

As a musician i find this movie just brilliant. JK Simmons is simply the best supporting actor ever in a film (Well, second one, there's Heath Ledger, of course), and then there's Milles Teller. Miles went from playing a teenager in movies like Project X or 21 & over, to being an excellent actor in a "Drama" like this movie.
The job that the Film Editor and the Sound Mixer did is excellent, Miles Teller does play drums in real life but not as good as he looks like in the movie. That, is the achievement that the Film Editor and Sound Mixer have.
Also, the script is just amazing, i can't believe the Academy marked it as an Adapted Screenplay just because Chazelle made a Short Film to raise funds to actually make the movie, but, rules are rules. The lines that JK deliver are epic and perfect ("Not quite my tempo", "There are no two words in the English language more harmful than "good job"", "I was there to push people beyond what's expected of them. I believe that's an absolute necessity") also, the scene where Andrew discusses with his Uncle Frank and his two cousins is brilliant, the acting, the script, all of it.
I only have one complain about the movie. Melissa Benoist has less than 15 or 10 minutes of screen time and she is listed, THIRD?!. Okay, she adds something to the story, actually, Miles does when he says they can't continue dating because he will always be thinking about drumming. I mean, come on, third? Nevertheless, she did a pretty good acting.
If you are a musician or really dig music (If you love jazz, what are you waiting for?) I think this movie would be great for you.
It is, indeed, a great film.
