One of the greatest cinematic experiences in my life

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2017)

Whiplash takes the viewer on a beautiful journey with Andrew, making you feel all the emotions Andrew is going through. The jazz music throughout this movie helps in flow in a beautiful way. J.K. Simmons's performance is one of the greatest performances ever seen on the big screen and alone separates it from your average movie. Damien Chazelle does a great job in engaging the audience throughout the movie yet keep a chilling and captivating atmosphere. Miles Teller also puts in a great performance, making the audience feel as if he is a truly great musician and as an audience member you truly feel his pain and despair. Melissa Benoist also gives an excellent performance as the shy, quiet girlfriend of Andrew and we feel this relationship is extremely important. All in all I recommend everybody watch this movie as it will be a classic for sure, and J.K. Simmons's performance will be regarded as one of the greatest of all time.
