Whiplash


Just out in the UK, I can't say much more than see this film—and in a cinema. The louder the better. Wow. Just wow.

Whether you have the slightest interest in jazz drumming or not, this is a breathtaking piece of cinema; heart-pounding from the first minute to the last with barely a pause for breath. And the ending. Well, every music movie ends with a set piece like that but ... never quite like that. Amazing.
