Roger Ebert
"Whiplash" is cinematic adrenalin...as breathless as a drum solo, rising and falling just as the hopes and dreams of its protagonist climb and crash.

The Guardian
Watching this film is like listening to a very extended, bravura jazz drum solo.

Film Inquiry
Whiplash is an excellent film, one of the best of 2014, but like all movies it has its shortcomings.

Screen Rant
Whiplash is a tense (but somewhat hollow) psycho-thriller that features a ferocious performance to remember from J.K. Simmons.

Whiplash is riveting. At times, it evidences the qualities of a can't-turn-away car wreck: brutal and horrific yet compelling.

Rotten Tomatoes
Here the classroom is the battlefield and dropping a drumstick feels just as devastating and crucial a moment as a grenade falling between your feet.
