Damn, Jazz is cool

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2015)

Whiplash is a great behind the scenes look at a jazz band, about how greatness will drive people over the edge, until they soar. This film sucks you in and keeps you there, as it plays enthralling music at every opportunity it got, while making it look like the characters themselves were performing.
JK Simmons performance was never faltering, and Miles Teller showed the hardships trying to be great could be. All side characters and performers were convincing, and never broke my immersion.
While there were never really any awe inspiring single shots in the movie, the majority of the time a band was playing, the cameras would always be going everywhere, making even basic music playing very striking. Fantastic Movie, would recommend you blast the movie as loud as possible.
