WHIPLASH ENGLISH MOVIE REVIEW
Ratings:4/5 Review By: Rajeev Masand Site:CNN IBN
Shot and edited at a rapid-fire pace, the camera zooming in on Andrew’s drum-kit as his fingers bleed to achieve Fletcher’s desired tempo, the film never lets up or loosens its grip on your attention. Right upto the very end, Chazelle eschews conventional narratives, leaving us with an unexpected and shocking final showdown that’s worthy of a standing ovation. I’m going with four out of five for ‘Whiplash’. It’s tense, consistently compelling, and a dazzlingly original piece of work that you cannot miss.

Some might feel that the depiction of jazz here is too harsh. But then again, Fletcher’s approach is about mastering the underpinning forms and structures before a player explores improvisational methods. The taut editing (Tom Cross) is outstanding and Simmons outdoes himself. When the thumping tom-toms, trombones and tympani fall silent, what you are also left with is a career-topping performance (thus far, at least!) from Miles Teller.

Director Damien Chazelles stunning and absorbing Whiplash takes these two freaks — this old man with a tongue made of daggers and this youngster with alarming amounts of focus — and pits them against each other in a delicious, deadly battle of jazz. They glide toward unscaleable peaks forsaking their lives, their careers, their families, their sanity… and all for what?

Whiplash is a film that will haunt you long after its over. It shows us both sides of ambition and talent, and it does this remarkably. Its not easy to make unsympathetic characters like Fletcher relatable, but somehow, the film manages to do just that. It is the perfect film for awards season, since it checks all the boxes without feeling like Oscar bait!
