Trending
Damien Chazelle's intense drama on the pursuit of greatness gets all the notes right through J.K. Simmons' terrifying portrayal as a ruthless music instructor and Miles Teller's raw vulnerability as a driven drummer. Every single viewing of high-stakes tension and its breathtaking finale comes off fresh; the talk of ambition and sacrifice can resonate with those chasing perfection in life, making the movie pretty deep, yet universally applicable. Even when viewed repeatedly, the ultimate drum solo is sure to keep viewers on tenterhooks.
