What a pounding journey !!! ... Relentless, unpredictable and intense ... Finishing on a real high after one last twist ... Delightful jazz music ...

Lion-like ‪J.K.Simmons‬ ruled with his authority and brooding presence, in a fiery role which has an odd surprise element or two ... ‪‎

Miles Teller‬ lived the part as the single-minded drummer with his sights firmly fixed on greatness ... He pulled off the drumming scenes pretty well too, particularly the pain, desperation and drive that he exhibited ..

‪MUST WATCH‬ ... Time well-spent ...

A really stellar contribution to the long tradition of mentors-from-hell type movies that include The Red Shoes, Black Swan and such.

It kinda confuse me that J.K. is getting all the hype and Miles Teller that is fantastic is not that appreciated for his performance.
Fantastic movie, is great to see this young director make great movies so soon in his career.
4.5/5

great acting, but the plot is not good and uses an overdose of cliches in a movie that didn't need them...
I loved the energy and passion, and the story invites to discussions about how to reach your potential, human dignity and utilitarism.
I like the movie, I like to disagree with it

Good movie but for crying out loud... no drummer bleeds like that.

Much needed proof that a movie can be outstanding if the writing, directing and acting are top notch and that it doesn't need millions in special effects or action scenes to hold your attention. 9/10

I got flashbacks to Uni, the second drummer in our band not being that great and the tutor making him repeat stuff over and over again whilst the rest of us watched awkwardly. Although, in the film, Andrew (Miles Teller) is actually good.

The tension in this film was great. I was absolutely gripped whenever J.K.Simmons was on screen and I can see why he's getting so much attention.

However, I really feel Miles Teller deserves some accolades. People complain about him having a "punchable face", but I thought he was great in The Spectacular Now and That Awkward Moment. I checked and he apparently did all the actual drumming (although not all in one go).

I liked that he ended the relationship with the girl. In similar films there would have been unnecessary tension in the third act from the girlfriend/boyfriend.

Part of me felt Andrew should have just started his own band but then it would have turned into a sports movie.

For once a film that's winning all types of awards, everyone is talking about AND it's actually really good!
