Stunning!!

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2019)

It was an easy film for me to "try" as Simmons is continually an all time favourite of mine, in all his acting roles &/or styles but this film... Wow!! I was unable to take my eyes off the screen and unable to get the music out of my mind.
I once heard some idiot say that "Jazz is the last refuge of the untalented musician". Obviously they were one of the fools who are unable to appreciate its joyous diversitys. 'Whiplash' has cemented my appreciation of both film and music, in particular Jazz. I am oh so glad I am mad about the lot.
I loved 'Whiplash' for so many reasons. The drama, the suspense, the acting, the realism... The SHOCK!!!
I really truly have PTSD (100%) and the most shocking and traumatic scene in the film was the most realistic scene of its type I have ever witnessed. I felt it as well as just saw and heard it. I won't ruin the scene for you.
Just watch this magnificent musical film. I reviewed so quick it gave me Whiplash.
