Absolutely Breathtaking

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2016)

I know I'm over a year late on this one but I just got the chance to see Whiplash and my god it was fantastic. The acting from Miles Teller and JK Simmons was fantastic, throughout the whole movie I felt like it was me being yelled at. The movie is surprisingly very intense which is something you don't usually see in a music themed movie but the tension stuck with me for hours after watching the film. Speaking of the music, the movie's soundtrack was great, the jazzy music going on throughout was very enjoyable and I loved every second of it. The only point of improvement I have for this film is I wish that the relationship between Andrew and Nicole was developed more, I liked the awkward chemistry on their first date and I feel like it would be an interesting relationship to dive deeper into. Overall though this is one of the greatest movies i've seen and i'd recommend it to anyone looking to jazz up (pun intended) an evening.
