Whiplash is a 2014 American drama film directed by Damien Chazelle. The screenplay, also written by Chazelle, was partly based on his experiences in the Princeton High School Studio Band.^[1] The film stars Miles Teller as an ambitious jazz drummer selected to join a school studio band taught by a cruel music instructor played by J. K. Simmons.^[2] Paul Reiser, Melissa Benoist, and Austin Stowell feature in supporting roles.^[3]

The film premiered at the opening night of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival on January 16, 2014, where it went on to win the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award for Dramatic Feature.^[4] Sony Picture Classics provided a limited release in United States and Canada on October 10, 2014. The film grossed over $13 million at the worldwide box office on a production budget of $3.3 million.^[5] Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, surveyed 252 reviews and judged 94% to be positive.^[6]

Whiplash garnered awards and nominations in a variety of categories with particular praise for Chazelle's direction and screenplay, Simmons' supporting acting performance, and Tom Cross' editing. At the 87th Academy Awards, the film received five nominations with Simmons winning for Best Supporting Actor, Cross for Best Film Editing, and the Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing.
