The environment built by Chazelle in this film is unique. JK Simmons' performance is unsurpassable.

Whiplash is a special movie that all humans can relate on a lesser level. It’s about passion, perseverance and taking your dreams to extreme lengths. The characters in this movie are the main reason why you’ll want to watch this. TerranceWhiplash is a special movie that all humans can relate on a lesser level. It’s about passion, perseverance and taking your dreams to extreme lengths. The characters in this movie are the main reason why you’ll want to watch this. Terrance Fletcher (played by J.K Simmons) is a psychopathic teacher who is manipulative and very interesting to watch.
My only small complaint is the pacing of the movie it starts off slow then speeds up a lot then goes slow again then speeds up a little bit. For a movie like this I believe they could have been a bit more consistent.
My favourite part of the movie is the final scene. I don’t want to spoil it, because it is by far in my opinion one of the best scenes that we have seen in movies this past decade. Something everyone should see.
Overall a solid must watch movie. :)… Expand

Every scene between Simmons and Teller is very intense and engaging. The soundtrack is amazing and the main leads give an excellent performance. It doesn't have many plot points but I'd recommend it anyway.

Dynamic, inspiring, representative. Masterfully directed by Chazelle, this story of obsession fully immerses us in that journey that comes with wanting to be the best. J. K. Simmons delivers the role of his life.

[BATS SKITTERING]

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

[MEN YELLING INDISTINCTLY IN SPANISH]

We shouldn’t be here when it gets dark.

Set the trap at the mouth of the cave, please.

[MEN SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

[WINCES]

PILOT: You need a doctor?

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

I am a doctor.

It’s impressive, don’t you think?

Vampire bats weigh almost nothing, but they can down a creature nearly ten times their size.

[FLIES BUZZING]

Wow.

What are you using as bait?

You volunteering?

Leaving.

[TRAP CLANKS]

Pay me now.

Before the sun goes down.

You throw in that bushcrafter on your belt and we have a deal.

[♪♪♪] [GROANS SOFTLY] [ALL CHITTERING] [SCREECHES] [BATS SCREECHING] [SHOUTS IN SPANISH] [YELLING IN SPANISH] Come on. [BELL TOLLING] [STUDENTS LAUGHING, CHATTERING] Move! [TICKING] [CAR HORN HONKS] NICHOLAS: Should be able to take better care of you here. [CAR DOOR CLOSES, CAR DRIVES AWAY] Everyone’s here to help you. Michael, this is Lucian. Lucian, Michael. Michael knows more about this place than I do. [WHISPERS] Play nice. LUCIAN: Hello. Hello, Milo. My name’s Lucian. The person who was here before was Milo. No. He was also the new Milo. And before him was the other new Milo. I don’t even remember the first Milo. How long have you been here? Long as I can remember. [MACHINE BEEPS AND WHIRS] And you’re still not cured? There is no cure. There’s something missing from our DNA. Like a piece of a puzzle. And until they find it, the only way to stay alive is an oil change three times a day. What would you do if you could be normal? Just for an hour? I don’t think about it. Hey, look at the freaks! Look at them! [STUDENTS CHATTERING, LAUGHING] Best not to be outside when school gets out. Like the original Spartans, we are the few against the many. [BEEPING] Milo? Milo? [ALERT BUZZING] Nurse? [♪♪♪] [WHISPERS] Okay… [BEEPS AND WHIRS] Lucian. Lucian! With one of these? It took a team of scientists to build that machine and you fixed it with a ballpoint pen? There’s a school for gifted children in New York. I think that I could get them to agree to cover your tuition and provide private care to help manage your condition. Somewhere you could study, learn, hone your skills. You have a gift, Michael. I don’t think I could forgive myself if I saw it go to waste. MICHAEL: “Dear Milo, this isn’t goodbye. I’m gonna find a cure for us, so we can be cranky old men someday. Your friend, Michael. P.S. You shouldn’t have unfolded this. Now you’ll never get it back together. See you this summer.” No. [STUDENTS CHATTERING] “Dear Milo…” [ALL LAUGH] Please, can I have my letter back? What? Please, can I have my letter? Okay. Here. [LAUGHS] Please. Ah! [SHOUTS] Please! [BOYS LAUGHING] Please! [YELLS] Stop. [GROANING] [BOYS GRUNTING] [NICHOLAS YELLS IN SPANISH] Go away! [SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE] Let me have a look. Let me have a look. [SCREAMS] He tried to steal my letter! Milo, Milo, stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. [CRYING] What about Milo? I’ll look after Milo. He needs me. NICHOLAS: Michael Morbius completed his doctorate by 19 and quickly established himself as the world’s leading authority on blood-borne diseases. His development of artificial blood has saved more lives than penicillin. Michael Morbius, please step forward to acknowledge the receipt of your prize from His Majesty, the King of Sweden. [AUDIENCE APPLAUDING] [TRUMPETERS PLAY FANFARE] ANNA: I can’t believe you dissed the king of Sweden. The king and the queen, their loyal subjects, all of Scandinavia and the entire scientific community. Yeah, but who does that? Well, Anna, we both know I have issues. But, hey, I kept the program. [TONE SOUNDS, THEN WOMAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY OVER PA] [KNOCKS] There you are. Hey, Dr. Bancroft. Hey, Anna. We going to play? Oh, I don’t think so. See, now that Dr. Morbius is back, maybe you should try losing for a while, see how that feels. MICHAEL: Not gonna happen. [morbius moans]… Expand

PAIN is the cost of getting to climax.
Acting could be a little bit better.
