Such an inspiring, powerful piece of work.

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2015)

I literally feel like playing the drums now, like that's how empowering this movie is. The dialogue was gritty, it was great, the acting was on all the right points, the cinematography -- just everything. Following this story of a college student who's being pushed to be the greatest by an aggressive, blunt teacher, and watching the boy's struggle and persistence, it left me in awe. And that final scene? Brilliant. I think that's what did it for me. That last scene sealed the deal on me loving the film. I mean... wow. I have so many, WAY too many favorite lines from this movie it's not even funny. Instant classic. I can only hope to make a film this amazing in the future, but I really, really doubt it.
