Review of Whiplash (2014) by Tomizawa — 07 Mar 2015
When a movie thrills me, whether it's by inducing sadness, anger, excitement, curiosity or fear, I have to conclude it's a good movie because transcends the screen and can have an effect on the viewer.
This was not the case with "Whiplash". It only made me feel pity, disgust and need to /facepalm. I admit, this movie might be considered edgy (because it shows a sensitive topic) and maybe a work of art, but it lacked essence and relatability.
Characters seem like empty and underdeveloped canvases. This film relied too much on shock value.
