Paradoxically, “Whiplash” reminds more of  “Full Metal Jacket” than a movie about Jazz.

It tells the difficult boundary between teaching and “bringing to light” the genius and the obsession for both of them, drumsticks and rhythm play the main role stunningly.

Despite forced attempts to stress the dramatic side, movie is very compelling.
