Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.
Hiring bias is something that's rampant in all industries (even unconscious bias). But writing a script totally neutral not only opens the door for more diverse actors, but also for characters that are people first.
As Andrew’s life begins to change, his passion for drumming soon becomes a spiraling obsession in the pursuit of perfection. Through the use of disturbing and abusive training methods, Fletcher puts Andrew through emotional and physical agony.
The relationship between the characters is what makes this film stand out, and it’s just all-around fun.
Growing up is a challenge for everyone.
