An utterly inspiring and exhilerating film!

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2019)

Whiplash is a movie that portrays a character driven to be the best drummer in his jazz band, and as he says, the world. Faced with the enormous challenge of impressing his verbally abusive jazz instructor/conductor, the audience is let into seeing a truly fascinating film about what it means to have great passion for an instrument, and what one would do to become the best there is. Miles Teller does a great job at portraying the main character, Andrew, but J.K. Simmons, who plays the previously mentioned conductor of the jazz band, really shines.
The final scene is absolutely compelling, and anyone who loves jazz music, or music in general for that matter, will love this film.
