A must watch from every perspective

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2015)

This is one of the best movies I've seen recently. Period. Both actors deliver their guts on their performances, and the awesome music is just a theme for their intricate and always ambiguous relationship. That is clearly the main focus of the movie.
How far can you go to achieve greatness? How damaged can you become as an individual once you choose a path nobody understands?
Well, when Andrew decides he wants to be a legend, the only obstacle in front of him seems to be his music teacher. This guy also demands perfection, but nonetheless makes it clear from day one that Andrew is not there. And most likely never will be.
He's just another student, another ordinary scrub who will probably be discarded when someone slightly better appears to take his place. After being humiliated several times, Andrew just keeps pushing...pushing through physical pain, self-imposed limitations and through the very presence of Fletcher himself. Nobody will stop him, not even a crap teacher that thinks too much of his own ego. The paradox is this: who's got the larger ego? The teacher who cannot find a legend or the student who wants to become one?
This toxic yet productive relationship is just a bliss to watch, as both actors stand out on each scene they're together, developing a mind blowing chemistry until the final climax. And the end is just superb.
This movie is a must watch!
