Whiplash: 'cause less is never more

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2016)

Just watched Whiplash and it is very enjoyable. Excellent acting and great characters, excellent music and flow. There are some good quirky unpredictable things and it is very beautifully filmed and edited.
It is a shame that they overstated so many aspects of the plot, making everything too extreme. Had they of held back on, well, everything, they would have made a superior production. But, as happens all too often with American films, the director and/or the producers feel the need to indulge themselves and the audience beyond what is necessary.
Unfortunately, it would seem that in the land of plenty, less is never more.
