One of those movies. It makes me wonder what the hell I'm doing with my life, when there are folks out there, willing to destroy themselves for their passion. Maybe that's all they have - one dream to give meaning to their otherwise mundane existence. But it is worth having such people among us, isn't it? They define a whole new level of brilliance, something that's above everything we've witnessed. And the manner in which they achieve such heights isn't always conventional. Or acceptable.
Meet Andrew Neiman, a student jazz drummer who travels a road that very few people would have the audacity to walk, and make it to the destination. As for his teacher Terence Fletcher, he is either the best or the worst guide for this journey. You'll be in conflict with yourself about this man and his methods, till the very end. Till the last drumbeat. One thing you'll know for sure - J.K. Simmons deserves an Oscar for this role.
Whiplash - a psychological drama revolving around music, and when you hear the word "music", don't be tricked. It's hardly pleasant, but if you have a taste for good cinema, this is it.
