How far is too far? That’s the big question in this intense movie that is fueled by a tight script, incredible acting, and a story that keeps you talking hours after it ends. Whiplash doesn’t take a side about talent and what it takes to push that talent to genius…it makes strong arguments for and against with the film’s two main characters (one will win the Oscar. ..the other got robbed of a nomination). A heart pounding drama that sticks with you long after it ends, Whiplash is one of the best movies of the year.
