Whiplash
Directed by: Damien
Chazelle
Starring: Miles
Teller, J.K. Simmons
Rating: A
This movie is the
complete package. All others I have seen this year have been lacking something.
It was a je ne sais quoi, until now. They all lacked the harmony I experienced
in this movie. No pun intended, since this is a movie about musicians.
The acting was
there, the directing was there, the conflict, building tension, climax… There
was irony and symbolism. Best of all, in my book, there was a sort of down with
the man moment in the end. Perhaps I have said too much. No more. I don't want
to have to SPOILER ALERT myself.
This is the most
well connected movie I have seen this year and in a long time prior. This movie
is deserving of the Oscar buzz it is getting.
