Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Scofield S A simple but very well-executed, fantastic movie that feels really stressful from beginning to end. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Jacob B Let's not mince words, this short film is, for all intents and purposes, a glorified teaser trailer for the actual film. I'm not really exaggerating. Damien Chazelle filmed a specific scene from his script and had it screened at Sundance so that investors could get an idea of what to expect from his film about a boy and his verbally abusive music teacher. And thus, I'm not sure if it's even really fair to judge this as a short film. There's also the fact that I saw this short after the feature film so perhaps I was a bit annoyed that these are basically the same scene just with different actors save for J.K. Simmons who still delivers a terrific performance for a short that was, as far as he knew back then, only going to be screened at film festivals for a movie that might not even see the light of day or even have him in it. I do think it works as something that builds up anticipation for the movie, which I consider worthy of the label "best film that I never want to see again" and I will cut it some slack since this was Chazelle giving the film festival crowd a glimpse of what to expect from a music drama from the writer of The Last Exorcism: Part II but without that context, all I see is a glorified prototype. Still, both the short and the actual film aren't half-bad, to say the least, for two projects Chazelle HAD to make so that he could work on the project he WANTED to make: La La Land. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Luis M I like it, but the rhytm is kinda of slow, but it is good. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/25/23 Full Review Wlad D This is not about Jazz actually. It is much more like a sports drama (and in some episode the characters even talk that way) and a catholic guilt pleasure movie. It's about suffering as a way to perfection.
