There are No Two Words in the English Language more harmful than "Good Job."

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2015)

Four words: Film of the year. Everything about this film was excellent; the acting, the story, the directing, and even more so the script was brilliant. J.K. Simmons deservedly picked up the Oscar and 'Whiplash' was robbed of Best Picture also. The intensity of this film was maintained throughout and the immense tension felt by Miles Teller was superbly portrayed. One thing I loved about this film is that it is so difficult to dislike. Even if you have no interest in music or anything like that, you still won't be able to stop thinking about this film. Another great thing about 'Whiplash' is the fact that it did not drag on at all. It was short, snappy, intense and near-perfectly executed with quality insults from J.K. Simmons throughout. The best film of the year. 8.5-9.0/10
