Outstanding film!

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2015)

I was around a year late to watching Whiplash because I honestly wasn't drawn in by the idea of a film about drumming, it didn't seem like my thing. After seeing many great things about this film I gave it a go and it was one of the best decisions I made. Whiplash has fantastic characters with two that absolutely stand out, Miles Teller's character Andrew is played brilliantly and I was rooting for him all the way through without a doubt. J.K Simmons brings an outstanding and intense performance and for me was one of the best supporting roles I have ever seen. The films tension is fantastic and there are so many gripping parts and even near the end I was sat drumming to myself because I was so hyped and excited. Overall the film is fantastic with great performances, great directing and a gripping story.
