Whiplash
Overview
My palms were sweating through the final scene, and I don't even play drums. Miles Teller is a young jazz drummer desperate for greatness; J.K. Simmons is the monstrous instructor who'll destroy him to get it. Damien Chazelle turns practice rooms into battlegrounds. The last ten minutes are the most intense thing I've seen in years.
