"Whiplash" 9/10
A must-see for fans of drumming, music conservatory students and, of course, people who like movies about music.
Most of all this is a story about the battle between a determined drummer and his music teacher from hell.
This is Miles Teller's movie, but it's another guy who steals the show in each scene he has a dialogue. This guy:
J.K. Simmons plays the Gunnery Sgt. Hartman (Full Metal Jacket) of teachers and I'm certain this performance will earn him an Oscar nomination besides Steve Carell (Foxcatcher).
My only issue with this really well made movie, is that I would've liked it to be an hour longer which would have allowed the story to be bigger and continue from the fantastic climatic ending, and tell us what further happens to these two amazing characters instead of just letting the credits roll to what seems like the beginning of something big.
