Does Whiplash hold up?

October 10th, 2014 Damien Chazelle brings to audiences everywhere his first directorial debut. All about Jazz drumming enthusiast Andrew, played by Miles Teller, going toe to toe with overbearing and controversial teacher Fletcher, played by J.K. Simmons. This is a story about how drive and passion can become overwhelming and may not always be the right way to go about things. It also asks a very complicated question of teaching methods and when does it cross the line and become too much.

Some brilliant performances drive the at times unfocused narrative. The directing is amazing and the jazz infused score is hypnotizing. There is so much to like about this film, but there's just as much to dislike. So the question as always is...Does it hold up?
