Mesmerising journey of a young drummer.

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2015)

Drumming! Really! Who knew it could be so exciting. This is a superb film with standout performances at every stage and the script fizzes off the screen continually self referencing and catching the arcs as you spot them and they come to fruition - this is a masterclass in how to pen a screenplay.
The whole film is shot lo-fi and there is an intimate and almost voyeuristic nature to the filmmaking which I really liked. You practically want to punch the air at many times during the film and sometimes punch J.K Simmons (who is AMAZING). I found myself tapping along to the music and at one point (along with the rest of the cinema) nearly jumped out of my seat and the whole experience felt like a roller-coaster ride from start to finish.
Great film, cannot recommend it enough.
