Fantastically shot, strongly performed

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2019)

Whiplash is a fantastically shot, strongly performed story about a young college student with a heavy drive to become a great drummer. He finds being great will be far more demanding than he ever could have imagined, as his instructor has an unorthodox approach to improving his musicians. Whiplash examines the cost and benefits of such a drive, and also explores the implications of pushing people beyond their limits.
