"Named one of the 100 best films of the century by The New York Times. A simple yet powerful movie. Brought to life by then-novice director Damien Chazelle, this film uses music as a starting point for a visceral and impactful story. Outstanding acting by J.K. Simmons, paired with Chazelle's direction, raises the tension that the film builds. It is no wonder that the feature passed through several festivals and was immensely awarded."
