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.

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.

i am so terrified of fletcher

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.

Rating: 11/10

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 ​​​​​​​​​

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 😂

Rushing > Dragging

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

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.

Like a reverse of Ex-Drummer, but where the band leader intentionally reveals his sociopathy. Ironic to see people call a man who hides behind insults cruel, and not the writer who believes his band so mentally inferior, he thinks he can harm or even kill them when the time’s up.

This was a fantastic movie. The music was amazing and JK Simmons was absolutely terrifying. He went from being so mean to nice to cruel. I’m not surprised he won an Oscar for this.

My favorite character: Terrence Fletcher

My favorite scene: probably the end or first practice

AMAZING MOVIE!! JK Simmons played his role to perfection and really made this movie great. Every single one of his scenes were filled with high tension and emotion to the viewer. Wouldn’t be nearly as good without him
