Whiplash
DramaThriller107 min
At an elite New York music conservatory, Miles Teller is Andrew Neyman, an ambitious jazz drummer whose shot at a top ensemble puts him under the eye of J.K. Simmons's Terence Fletcher, a teacher known for spotting talent and breaking students down in public. As rehearsals intensify, Andrew fixes on perfection at any cost, pushing himself through pain, pressure, and constant scrutiny. Paul Reiser appears as Andrew's father, one of the few people outside the practice rooms and performance halls where the contest between student and instructor keeps tightening.
