...and it makes the story of a drummer interesting! Whiplash is a stunning film, and writer/director Chazelle creates an utterly compelling and intimately-shot work that is mesmerising from start to finish. Miles Teller, as the ambitious 19-year-old who wants to be 'the best drummer in the world', gives perhaps his first truly complete and very sympathetic performance, and J.K. Simmons strides magnetically through the film as the magnificently acerbic and fiercely committed band leader. This is a true union of the mediums of music and film, which immensely entertaining, engaging and admirable in its achievement.
