Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons), an instructor known for his terrifying teaching methods, discovers Andrew and transfers the aspiring drummer into the top jazz ensemble, forever changing the young man’s life. But Andrew’s passion to achieve perfection quickly spirals into obsession, as his ruthless teacher pushes him to the brink of his ability and his sanity. Review: Loved it So much bought two 💙 - Loved it So much bought two 💙 Review: A little indy film that'll make you feel assaulted - "Whiplash", an independent film shot in 19 days, was one of the genuine pleasures of 2014 in film, telling the story of a promising young jazz drummer named Andrew at a prestigious music conservatory in New York being driven to manic ambition by a sadistic conductor/instructor named Terrence Fletcher. But it's so much more than a Faustian morality drama in functioning as a metaphor for the choice of reaching for the highest fame and success or being happy with the simple joys of life. It stars J.K. Simmons who reminds me of the great George C. Scott in that his performance here as a sadistic college band instructor is almost as intense in displaying unleashed machismo as Scott did playing General Patton. At this writing, the 2015 Oscars haven't been given out yet, but Simmons couldn't lose the Oscar if he dropped his pants on Hollywood Boulevard. Writer/director Damien Chazelle drew from his own experiences in High School (hopefully exaggerated!) to make a film that virtually assaults the viewer as if he were a punching bag continuously being pummeled by an enraged boxer. After an almost unbearable nine-minute drumming climax, the viewer will probably stagger out into the street, then spend days getting over the experience. By pushing the envelope almost to the unendurable, Chazelle has carved a cinematic masterpiece. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08BW41PZM | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 2.35:1, 16:9 - 2.40:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 99,486 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 26,918 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) 31,489 in Blu-ray | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,792) | | Dubbed: | French, German, Spanish | | Item model number | BR57035 | | Language | English | | Media Format | 4K, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 1.78 x 19.05 x 13.72 cm; 80 g | | Release date | 22 Sept. 2020 | | Run time | 1 hour and 47 minutes | | Studio | Sony Pictures Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | English, French, German, Spanish, Turkish | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Sony Pictures Home Entertainment - **Format:** 4K, Subtitled - **Genre:** Drama - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 47 minutes ## Images ![Whiplash [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81eLULGWj+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it So much bought two 💙 *by J***N on 5 September 2015* Loved it So much bought two 💙 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little indy film that'll make you feel assaulted *by R***M on 20 February 2015* "Whiplash", an independent film shot in 19 days, was one of the genuine pleasures of 2014 in film, telling the story of a promising young jazz drummer named Andrew at a prestigious music conservatory in New York being driven to manic ambition by a sadistic conductor/instructor named Terrence Fletcher.

They both play tenacious, unrelenting characters and do so in a way that can’t be forgotten and stays with the viewer long after the movie’s over. They may be pursuing different things, De Niro with boxing and Teller with drumming, but they’re each after the same goal: greatness. And that’s what this film is all about, reaching a goal that is relative to the person trying to achieve it. In this case, it centers around a guy who never feels understood. He’s attending the most prestigious music school in the country and is constantly working to be ‘one of the greats’. Who, in his eyes, is someone like Buddy Rich. Then unexpectedly, he’s given a chance to prove his chops on the renowned studio band instructed by Terence Fletcher (J.K. Simmons). He’s soon met with Fletcher’s abusive teaching tactics and is continuously tested under pressure. The question is, can he withstand. It tests the psyche of a young man and shows how far a person will go for something they love and want to do for the rest of their life. That being said, it’s a harsh movie. The audience is thrown right into the pressure cooker along with Teller, and if you’re not ready for it, it can be unsettling and scary. But that’s one of the main reasons why I liked it. Not only does it test the main character, it tests the viewer. You also can’t deny the masterful performances on display and finesse that the director brings along with them. Needless to say, this is a must-see. If I had seen it in 2014, it would’ve undoubtedly made my top ten. ## Frequently Bought Together - Whiplash [Blu-ray] [4K UHD] - La La Land [Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD] - Blade Runner 2049 (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray) (4K Ultra) [4K UHD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/345855864-whiplash-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/345855864-whiplash-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
