Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Director Damien Chazelle, who based the story on his own experience as a student jazz drummer in the thrall of an Alpha task-master, has created a remarkably economical and claustrophobic piece of storytelling.

fresh:
'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.
– Peter Rainer,

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.

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