Review of Whiplash (2014) by Austin D — 30 Jan 2016

This was a stunning film to watch in many ways: pulsing with energy and a complicated and brutal central relationship made so excellent by two superb performances. However I wouldn't say it was always enjoyable: it was certainly intense and stressful but maybe a bit much so for me! I can definitely appreciate it's brilliance and there was lots to really like but not sure if I would want to watch it again.
