Review of Whiplash (2014) by Mango A — 31 Aug 2015
Whiplash is a small film with big performances. I just wish I had resisted the urge to read Miles Teller's recent Esquire interview. When an interviewer describes his subject as "a dick" within the first couple of sentences and goes on to confirm his initial assessment throughout the article, it's a pretty good "indickator" that the subject needs a publicist.
If you are a fan of either Miles Teller or J.K. Simmons, be sure to check out Whiplash. But if like the character J.K. Simmons plays, you are seeking the next Bird, check out Forest Whitaker's portrait of Charlie "Bird" Parker in what is one of my all time favorite films about a musician, "Bird.
