9 emotional reactions everyone had when watching Whiplash

All about that Jazz.

WHIPLASH IS BEING talked up as one of the best movies of the year. It was released in these parts last week – and it’s safe to say that everyone is loving it.

The movie focuses on a young jazz drummer – played by Miles Teller – and his enrolment in a top music school under the tutelage of J.K Simmons’ tyrannical head jazz teacher.

If you haven’t seen it yet, prepare yourself for these reactions:

1. J.K Simmons is terrifying
