Review of Whiplash (2014) by Dana Stevens for Slate — 09 Oct 2014
Even if you couldn’t care less about jazz drumming, though, Whiplash is a thrill to watch. Underneath that taut, stylish surface, it’s really a movie about the perils of pedagogy, about the relationship between a passionate (perhaps too passionate) student and a demanding (perhaps too demanding) teacher.
Which is to say, a movie about a uniquely powerful and potentially destructive form of love.
