Whiplash is the best movie of the year...

It could be the best movie of the decade. I havent quite gone that far back.
The pace of the movie is perfect, and that is helped by great editing from the crew. The cinematography is just as impressive, and while its not Birdman, is fits the film perfectly, and the score hits every nerve at every moment. Also, JK Simmons gives a performance for the ages, and Miles Teller stands toe to toe with him, and he should be getting more praise than he is getting.
Everyone else should be fighting for the number two spot this year, because this movie is the one perfect ten this year.

I agree. It's outstanding. I had even more fun with Gone Girl, but Whiplash is the movie of the year.

100% agreed. My favorite movie since Inception.

Agree. Along with Birdman, both films feature extraordinary acting performances.

Love J.K. and he played the hell out of the role. I just thought the role was overcooked, and the only really likeable character was the girl that got chased off. Not that I didn't enjoy the film, I just wouldn't put it in the last bracket.

Loved this film. The acting is superb

Just finished, holy frick that was awesome.

Surprisingly intense movie!

Just got out of the Robinson Film Center in Shreveport. Whiplash was great.
Loved the final scene and J.K. And Teller were both great. Suprised Teller isn't getting more accolades.

Absolutely loved this movie as well. JK seems like a lock to sweep the supporting actor awards.
And I thought Teller deserved a nom as well.

Really loved this movie. So wonderfully executed
I gotta say, I was expecting to see Miles Teller play a character similar to his character in The Spectactular now, but he really impressed me. He'll def be one to watch in the coming years.
And what can you say about JK Simmons, wow. His characater is a psychopath

I just watched it last night. Excellent movie. You describe it well
It was so intense, and the ending was beautiful/perfect.
Easily one of my favorites this year. I hope it takes home some Oscars.
O and that was really Teller playing the drums. Edited together through multiple shoots, but impressive none the less. It was actually one of the guys that he competes with for core in the movie who gave him lessons. He had played drums in a rock band as a teenager too.
I'm surprised he isn't getting more recognization.

Whiplash and The Imitation Game are my two favorites of the year. Nightcrawler is probably third.
Posted on 1/25/15 at 10:34 am to devils1854
I really enjoyed it. Primarily for the performances by Simmons and Teller.
For various reasons, I would place Imitation Game, Boyhood, Birdman and Grand Budapest slightly ahead of it. That's not bad, though. I see a lot of movies.

Technically perfect, suspenseful and hilarious, but not emotionally or intellectually complex enough for me to give it a perfect 10.
Still, it probably deserves best picture.

Up vote.
Whiplash is almost the perfect movie. Top five for me in the last several years.

I truly hated it.
Of course, I had a psychopath for a band director in high school who killed my love for music, so I spent much of the movie imagining myself as the kids dad, beating jk simmons to death.
i might be juuuuuuust a bit biased on this one.
True story, he ended up getting fired a year after i quit for sending sexually suggestive text messages to a student.
best.
day.
ever.
