Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Paul Bradshaw (60) for Total Film (3,532) on 15 Jan 2015

Marches to the beat of its own drum… Lands with a bang… There just aren’t enough musical clichés to describe Whiplash…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Chris Fyvie (70) for The Skinny (809) on 12 Jan 2015

Builds to a finale that's somehow fist-pumpingly fantastic and utterly tragic at the same time. You'll want back for more as soon as it's over…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Olly Richards (291) for Empire (3,446) on 12 Jan 2015

Sum up the plot and it sounds interminable. Watch the film and it will spit you out elated, exhausted and cheering for an encore…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Ali Gray (310) for TheShiznit.co.uk (506) on 11 Jan 2015

Not many films can capture electricity and bottle it, but Damien Chazelle is a conductor par excellence…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Andy Lea (545) for Daily Star (403) on 11 Jan 2015

Tense, hilarious, harrowing, brilliantly performed and masterfully directed…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Blake Goble (229) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 09 Jan 2015

Whiplash works incredibly well as a kind of psychological, academic scare, and it plays its way to a gigantic, emotionally powerful close…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Richard Corliss (1,032) for Time (1,811) on 05 Jan 2015

Directing with a cool, steady hand that renounces shaky-cam the way Fletcher would denounce rock ‘n roll, and getting strong performances…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Wesley Morris (1,967) for Grantland (318) on 04 Jan 2015

The movie swings - physically, musically, psychologically, racially…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Brett Mccracken (54) for Christianity Today (953) on 04 Jan 2015

Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons are both phenomenal in their parts, playing off each other as brilliantly as one horn to another in a jazz ensemble…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Genevieve Valentine (37) for Philadelphia Weekly (778) on 04 Jan 2015

Though Simmons gnaws through the screen with every glance, Teller's a suitably brutal canvas…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Brian Miller (136) for Seattle Weekly (293) on 04 Jan 2015

[An] intense, brutal, and often comical tale of mentorship gone amok…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for SF Weekly (560) on 04 Jan 2015

A bit of a letdown in terms of actual characterization and music appreciation, writer-director Damien Chazelle's film is at least a thrilling…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Stephen Rebello (292) for Playboy Online (295) on 04 Jan 2015

As an ode to jazz, to the single-minded pursuit of greatness, and to the agony and exultation of jamming to one's inner drummer, Whiplash hardly…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By James Helmsworth (5) for Willamette Week (516) on 04 Jan 2015

Whiplash clefts music from dance, love and spirituality. What's left is muscle, red and raw, beating faster and faster against a drum…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Michael Smith (475) for Tulsa World (603) on 04 Jan 2015

The race for the Academy Award for best supporting actor is probably over, with J.K…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Anita Katz (182) for San Francisco Examiner (1,621) on 04 Jan 2015

Simmons is daunting and extraordinary from the moment Chazelle introduces the black-clad monster, but it is Teller, a former drummer, who carries…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Jake Alden-Falconer (1) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 04 Jan 2015

I push people beyond what's expected of them, Simmons tells Teller. I believe that's an absolute necessity. You might say the same about the film…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Norman Wilner (961) for NOW Toronto (1,621) on 04 Jan 2015

Chazelle's plot twists grow increasingly ridiculous, prizing intensity over credibility, and the final act has the feel of a fever dream…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Adam Woodward (285) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 04 Jan 2015

If Chazelle's primary objective was simply to present two grossly exaggerated and unsympathetic characters, then he's succeeded in some style…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 04 Jan 2015

The music is brilliant, Chazelle’s writing and directing are something to behold, Teller is really good — and Simmons delivers one of the…
