Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
Nohutcan Every scene, every detail, every line, every character in the movie just working perfectly in harmony from the begining till the end. And, man, this is totally quite my tempo!
wijajo-72563 The characters were believable and the set up unique. J.K. Simmons was amazing in in his portrayal of the relentless Terrence Fletcher.I'm not musical, but I loved this film. I believe there are many people similar to Terrence Fletcher but I've never seen these people represented on the big screen. The relationship between the two main characters is complex and ever evolving.I'm unsure if I liked the ending, though it had its good points too. It left you judging whether Terrence was good or bad. I just wish that the film had more a take-home message. As you can see my rating though, this didn't affect my enjoyment too much.
wisneskilife Truthfully, there really isn't a beginning, middle, or end in Whiplash. This is more a a philosophical journey with a ambitious artist and an even more ambitious teacher. There are dialogues and scene that are almost too painful to watch, but really make you think. J. K. Simmons is the perfect antihero (I wouldn't call him a villain). Simmons comes off as a terrible person, but really he's the push everyone needs in life to succeed. I know I reflected on all the negative people who affected my life and began to wonder if negative criticism is more powerful than positive criticism.
jkcarlo Just do yourself a favour - watch this movie! Its both fascinating, surprising and chocking - made with a lot of charm and wit! A masterpiece - Straight up!
