Gets the blood pumping

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2018)

It's hard to explain the emotion that 'Whiplash' evokes. For a film about music, the silence is just as dramatic, sometimes more so. A story about being pushed beyond your limits in order to achieve actual greatness; the film manages to challenge not only our emotional understanding of how far is too far, but a full realization of the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to perfect a craft. Simply put, all aspects of this film had me on the edge of my seat until the last beat that puts you right back at the beginning.
