Neyman is quickly subsumed into Fletcher's band, a move that pushes his inspiration into the realm of obsession and leads him to the brink of his ability - and his sanity.

"Whiplash is electric from beginning to end, a musical story of obsession, frustration, and outright cruelty built on two knockout performances." - Tom Long, Detroit News

"It would be an insult to call Chazelle a "promising" filmmaker, as this movie doesn't indicate pure potential - it is evidence of authentic, sometimes blazing talent." - Richard Roeper, Chicago-Sun Times
