Whiplash (2014)
A wonderfully stressful high tempered masterpiece
Whiplash is the definition of a high tempered film. This film has a very solid and fast opening, with a great introduction to the two main characters (Neiman and Tanner), where we quickly learn their positions in this film.
With its fast pacing, and its stressful tone created by the almost constant drum-music and the easy to understand story, this film will have your complete attention from the opening, and will have you sitting on your seat throughout the whole film all the way to its perfectly executed third act.
Unfortnately there are a few quite predictable points in the plot, which is why Whiplash is only getting an 8 out of 10, instead of a 9 out of 10. Whiplash is a masterpiece. A predictable masterpiece, but a masterpiece none the less.
Þrestir (2015)
A really amazingly executed experience that will definitely leave an impact
A incredible film with brilliantly executed shots and solid performances by the actors that will leave a great impact on you. I like to call this film an "exhaler", because when the film is over, you will have to exhale deeply because you are so overwhelmed by its amazingly done third act.
The third act is without a doubt the strongest part of this film, where you will be siting on the edge of your seat in excitement thanks to the beautiful long shots and the very minimal use of dialogue.
Sparrows is a brilliant drama with solid performances, and incredibly long shots that are handled perfectly and leaves a massive impact on you. Definitely worth a watch. Or two. Or three.
