You'll hate him. Then you'll love him

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2015)

What a fantastic movie. Whether you love Jazz or not, it's brilliant. The two main characters will draw you in from the start. You will undoubtedly root for Miles Teller's character (the aspiring musician) and despise J. K. Simmons' (the villainous music professor). By the end of the film you'll love them both. J. K. Simmons does a fantastic job as the music composer/instructor pushing his musicians to the the limits of their talents. Albeit a quite unorthodox method.
With today's films being mostly poorly written action films, horror movies, and rewritten tales from the past it is refreshing to watch something that draws you into the story. Any time you can watch a film; be emotionally and excitedly pulled down the path, the actors are doing what few can do. Don't miss this. It is one you'll tell your friends about.
