Review of Whiplash (2014) by Exqweezme — 24 Aug 2015
Trite. The renowned Jonathan Schwartz says "Jazz is the sound of surprise." That sound is missing here. Predictable, cliched, and dull, and no doubt some kind of cathartic outlet for seniors (the majority of current moviegoers) where J.
K. Simmons represents the overly demanding/never satisfied parent and Paul Rieser the unconditional love/support icon. Neither suffer any consequence for their actions, it's Miles Teller's character that is the reagent to their catalyst - a mushy dollop of clay for them to shape - and the audience is left with no clear moral consequences for any of their actions.
