After watching this for the second time I still don't see what everyone was so enamored about. Mostly unlikable characters and an average story. Would do 2.5 if it were an option. 3/5

One of the best movies I have ever seen. JK Simmons way of telling Miles Teller he see's absolute greatness in him is by abusing him and pushing him past his limits, creating a drive and obsession that ends up paying off very well for him, and leaves us inspired and maybe questioning why we don't strive and obsess like Miles does in this movie. This movie has so many lessons on what it takes to be successful, guarantee it is better than any other movie you were considering!

Amazing, score, cinematography, acting, amazing. J.K. Simmons performance as Terence Fletcher is the one of the most compelling characters I’ve ever seen. Miles Tellers Andrew Neiman was amazing as well. This is an amazing Damien Chazelle movie and I highly recommend it.
