Amazing music! The story is good. Acting is great. Go see it.

User review rating: 3 September 21, 2024

The music was worth the film. The motivations of the characters were never explored except the main character who just wanted to be the best. It was sort of a replay of Full Metal Jacket with the psychotic sergeant being the music instructor Both parts were unrealistic in that any person that carried their ruthless obsessions to that extent would be sent to the looney bin by their employer. There are internal balancing mechanisms in society which makes that level of intensity only a horror fantasy. Not realistic. And yes I have been in both intense military training and college level music school.... neither were accurately represented here in my opinion..

I recommend you go see this movie if you haven't. One of the best movies of the 21st century so far.

Exemplary view of what it takes to excel in ones' field of interest. Both JK and Miles are FABULOUS in this movie... the bar scene where JK lays down the demise of jazz music is spot on. The commitment to be the best you can be is on display.

One of the best films I've seen in the past few years.

User review rating: 5 February 28, 2015

Loved this movie. The acting by the drummer, Miles Teller and of JK Simmons was outstanding.

Terrific, I had a long drive from one corner of the city to the opposite side just to see this film in limited release, but would do it again in a heartbeat for such a rewarding experience.

Great acting from everyone. Great movie.

Outstanding film in every way. Okay I love jazz and drums, so I'm biased - but if the drumming was poor, the acting bad, I'm more of a critic! The horns and reeds were professional in every way, a real experience for music lovers! J.K. will win the Oscar and should.

A pretentious, meandering overblown episode of Fame with delusions of grandeur. Performances and direction are merely perfunctory. Nothing, save the fantastic music, is worth the price of admission. Save that money and buy some jazz. You'll be happy you did.

The BEST film of the year so far! From the acting to the story to the direction to the editing! This is a fast paced, entertaining film! Anyone who's ever had an inclination to pursue music as a career or just loves music should see this film! It better not be snubbed by the Oscars!

The best movie that I have seen in years. I will see it again...

User review rating: 5 December 04, 2014

GREAT MOVIE. J K Simmons should be a shoo-in for an Oscar as should the young, FABULOUS drummer be nominated for BEST supporting actor. What an unexpected thrill this movie is. How wonderful, terrific this great this movie is. I recommended it to many friends who weren't going to see Whiplash.....they did, and loved it also.

Outstanding, riveting and thoroughly entertaining. Great story, and you don't know how it will end (which is unusual these days). Incredible acting by all. A definite must see at the theatre.

User review rating: 5 November 20, 2014

Great intense movie about a drummer trying to make it but the dynamics remind me of a movie about sports and the drive and commitment to be great

get ripped.

Outstanding movie

User review rating: 5 November 14, 2014

This is a fantastic movie that depicts the intense drive and commitment it takes for the main character, Andrew Neyman, to succeed as the core drummer in a prestigious jazz band. Miles Teller and JK Simmons are riveting!!

Saw this at TIFF, fabulously entertaining, very well done, thunderous applause as we lept to out feet on the final note.
