Whiplash Reviews

Greatest movie of all time. J.K Simmons is one of the greatest actors of all time and playes his roll perfectly. Miles Teller is just as good too and you can really see the dedication he had to the roll. The pacing through the movie was amazing. and the scenes were the best ever.

i am so terrified of fletcher

Whiplash leaves you with one question. Does the end justify the means? Is what our protagonist endures a necessary process in order to achieve the highest level of success. Or is it a path that has led him to lose himself and fall deeper into a one sided abusive relationship.

He’s bald

i simply would not let another person talk to me like that

I LOVE this film. One of my all time favorites. The story of determination and how to succeed, your way.

OH MY GOD THAT WAS AMAZING 10/10. Frickin Phenominal

A really brutal but necessary reminder of what it takes to be the best.

the film's depiction of music education is unrealistic and that the methods used by the main character's instructor would not be effective in real life. It’s also the most overrated film ever

This movie is structured very similarly to Black Swan in the sense they are both about obsessive performers seeking greatness in the arts and abused by their couches in the process. Both performers reach said goals at the cost of their sanity.

I think this gave me too much anxiety rip ​​​​​​​​​

Rushing > Dragging

i loved it, the end had me in tears

9/10
Damien Chazelle simply doesn’t miss. J.K. Simmons was born to play this type of character. A must watch for any fan of film. Chazelle’s way of telling stories through music is something that is unparalleled. La La Land and Babylon are slightly better but it’s still amazing

i did not like this at all 😂

Realistic movie about the dedication to what you love and the effort it takes to succeed. But utterly depressing.

Perfect arc story love the raw feel at the end during the performance him determined to redeem himself not only to Terrance but for himself aswell. Wish it showed what happened to him after the performance. Did he become the drummer he relentlessly worked so hard to become?

This movie is the reason we should all watch movies…⭐️🎵🏆

What does it mean to be great? I loved Whiplash because Damien Chazelle highlights the blood, sweat and tears that come along with pure devotion to one’s craft; the hard work when nobody’s there to pat you on the shoulder. The final scene…wow.
