The Cinephile Fix

Wael Khairy

Here the classroom is the battlefield and dropping a drumstick feels just as devastating and crucial a moment as a grenade falling between your feet.

This is as much psychological thriller as musical drama and it turns on the increasingly toxic chemistry between two clearly damaged people, to the exclusion of pretty much anyone else in the film

What does it mean to be great? I loved Whiplash because Damien Chazelle highlights the blood, sweat and tears that come along with pure devotion to one’s craft; the hard work when nobody’s there to pat you on the shoulder. The final scene…wow.

What is essentially a thriller about jazz introduced the world to the rare talents of Damien Chazelle...

Not quite sure why there's so much hype and praise on this one. I did enjoy it and thought JK and Miles had good performances but I didn't love it the way so many others did.
