“Sum up the plot and it sounds interminable. Watch the film and it will spit you out elated, exhausted and cheering for an encore.”
Olly Richards, Empire
“You’ll leave the cinema with a spring in your step and a thump in your chest, eager to bang the drum for what deserves to be one of the year’s real word-of-mouth hits.”
Mark Kermode, The Guardian
“"Whiplash" is cinematic adrenalin... It is captivating, to say the least, particularly in a climax that produces more tension than any action film or thriller this year.”
Brian Tallerico
