Whiplash

An intense movie that keeps you captivated for the whole runtime. I absolutely enjoyed this film; though it was sometimes stressful to watch. J.K. Simons gives an absolute Oscar worthy performace; he is just incredible. This movie has all the elements that make for an excellent movie. The movie illustrates great lighting design; great sound design; amazing acting; incredible dialogue. This movie provides the audience with powerful themes. I definitely spent quite some time thinking about this film. It is in my top 10 films!
