Review of Whiplash (2014) by Lamontraymond — 11 Oct 2014
Easily the best movie of 2014 so far. It has all the hallmarks of a singular vision that was not messed with by a studio. 19 shooting days produced a marvelous film with two amazing lead actors. I can't remember a movie since The Hurt Locker that produced anything close to this level of intensity.
In a way, it also reminded me of Jiro Dreams of Sushi in the conductor/teacher/mentor's pursuit of perfection. These standards and pursuits are rare in society these days - and sure, the introduction of violence is arguably too much - but in a way, it's an admirable model.
