Review of Whiplash (2014) by Daniel S — 07 Aug 2016

Completely lives up to the hype. Simmons and Teller are mesmerizing in their performances. The story is taut and edgy, keeping the energy building to a fever pitch, resulting in a climax that mimics the music that's on display.

The struggle between the characters over what is worth sacrificing for greatness, takes you on a journey where you find yourself questioning how far one should go to achieve their dreams.
