Whiplash

If you're only going to watch one film about a lunatic music teacher who throws chairs at his students in 2015, make it this one. It's bloody great (no really, there's blood in it too... mixed with sweat)

Saw this during a secret screening at Odeon at the end of 2014 and didn't really know what to expect having never heard of the film before. However, we left the cinema amazed by the levels of raw energy and tension contained within this fantastic film. It's often been said that the title of the film is a description of how you'll feel after watching and I'd have to agree. By the end credits you'll feel exhausted and bruised but it's worth it for the ride. Just watch it and you'll see.

The trailers for this didn't really convey what a film this was going to be so it was only after word of mouth i gave it a go. It was a treat.. superb acting, tension..music...just stunning. An unsung jem.
