A talented, ambitious first year conservatory jazz drumming student (Teller) is taken under the wing of a dictatorial master instructor (Simmons) in this audacious high-wire act of filmmaking. Building off of Chazelle’s short of the same name, Whiplash is an extended drum solo of a movie that employs a virtuosic performance from Simmons and razor sharp editing to grab the viewer’s attention.
