Review of Whiplash (2014) by Nigel B — 10 Dec 2018
Have seen it like 6 times now probably and it still feels just as flawless and exhilarating every time. Chazelle doesn't waste a moment here. The simple, dinner table scenes are just as tightly constructed and impactful as the giant orchestral jazz scenes.
I also feel this film is in its execution is as high-stakes feeling as any film could be, and we're just dealing with a jazz drummer and his mentor, which is quite a feat. One of the best dramas of all time.
