Whiplash (2014)
Ambitious young jazz drummer meets hardass teacher. Musical hijinks ensue.

Seems brutal.

She probably liked it more than me, as did a lot of critics, apparently. I had a hard time buying the central issue of the teacher's brutality or the students' reaction to it; that said, it's well acted and composed, not too long, and has cool music performances, so it's not a complete waste of your time.

It was just okay. Saw it when it was released, haven't thought about it since.

Re: Whiplash (2014)
Saw it a while back, probably shortly after its initial release. Probably more notable for JK Simmons' Oscar performance -- and he was a badass -- than as a great film.
Kind of liked the concept of the war of wills between student and teacher but, yeah, the execution of it was at times a bit tough to buy. And the backstory of the
dummer's personal life and how no one around him could fathom his drive and level of devotion to his craft was, IIRC, just sort of eh.

Re: Whiplash (2014)
i thought the filmmaking was kinetic and stylish, and the performances powerful. I bought it.
Re: Whiplash (2014)
At the insistence of my son we watched this today, have to say the performances were excellent and the music at times brilliant. A lot to take in
