Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Primarily two actors and a jazz score, but the result is a crackling good drama that feels almost like a thriller. Smart, stylish and intense.

'Whiplash' is electric from beginning to end, a musical story of obsession, frustration and outright cruelty built on two knockout performances.

rotten:
Such a cooked-up piece of claptrap that I half expected Darth Vader to pick up the baton.

fresh:
It would be an insult to call Chazelle a "promising" filmmaker, as this movie doesn't indicate mere potential - it is evidence of authentic, sometimes blazing talent.

The movie swings - physically, musically, psychologically, racially.
